Two US troops killed by Afghan soldier in Nangarhar attackThe deaths of US soldiers in Nangarhar come at a sensitive time, with President Donald Trump keen to pull troops out and end the conflict in Afghanistan. KABUL: Two American troops were killed and six others wounded when an Afghan soldier armed with a machine gun opened fire, the US military confirmed Sunday. In December, Taliban infiltrators in the Afghan military killed nine Afghan soldiers in central Afghanistan. In July, an Afghan soldier killed two US troops as they were visiting an Afghan army base in Kandahar. That came two weeks after another Afghan soldier shot and killed an influential Afghan army colonel while he was conducting a security assessment in Ghazni province.
