Two US occupation soldiers from the NATO alliance were Monday shot dead by an Afghan border policeman in the north of the country

Two US occupation soldiers from the NATO alliance were Monday shot dead by an Afghan border policeman in the north of the country, military officials said.
  
NATO confirmed the deaths, the latest attack on international soldiers, and said it was investigating the incident which occurred inside a police compound while US military advisers were holding talks with a local colonel.
  
"According to initial reporting, an individual in an Afghan border police uniform fired on the ISAF members inside a compound," NATO said in a statement. "The individual who fired the shots fled the scene," it added, without giving further details.
  
However, an Afghan border police colonel named Najmuddin, who like many Afghans uses only one name, confirmed the attacker was a border policeman and said the dead were Americans. "I was meeting with some American advisers who had come to my office. We were setting inside talking. Two of their soldiers were outside the office guarding along with one of our personnel," Najmuddin told AFP. "We heard gunshots. When we came out we saw that our guy had shot the two American soldiers dead and himself had escaped. We are investigating this," he said.
