An Afghan man wearing army uniform killed on Monday a NATO occupation soldier in southern Afghanistan.

"An individual wearing an Afghan National Army uniform turned his weapon against an ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) service member in southern Afghanistan today, killing the service member," the alliance said.

A spokesman was unable to provide information about whether the shooter was shot or managed to flee. It could not be verified if the shooter was an army soldier or merely wearing military uniform.

More than 200 occupation soldiers have been killed so far in the war-torn country. Last year was the deadliest year for foreign military casualties with a total death toll of 711.
