A US soldier shot dead by an Afghan soldier in Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan. Americans and Afghans were monitoring the gated residence of the governor of the province, where there was a meeting with an important delegation. One of the Afghans opened fire on the Americans, who responded by killing the assailant.
The American victim was part of a unit to train local forces, is the main mission of 12,500 NATO troops remained in the country, since the withdrawal of combat troops in December.
Many times the Taliban, in the uniform of the Afghan army opened fire on NATO troops.
The US presence jeopardizes the chances of reaching a peace process with the Taliban, yet the objective of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
