US contractors 'killed in insider attack' in Kabul
Al Jezeera ^ | 1-29-2015 | Al Jezeera

Three American contractors were killed in an apparent insider attack in the Afghan capital Kabul, an Afghan air force official told Reuters news agency.

"It is unclear yet why he shot these advisers and no one else was there to tell us the reason," the official said, asking not to be named because he was not authorised to give statements to the media.

"An investigation has been opened."

The international force in Afghanistan also confirmed the shooting took place on Thursday evening.

A rise in so-called "insider attacks" in Afghanistan has eroded trust between Afghan and international troops in the final years of the combat mission that ended in 2014, prompting foreign forces to scale back interaction with their allies.

Why they shot???

Because we are at war with Islam and we are their enemy.

How long before people learn to not trust Muslims? Even the ones who are “on our side” that always seem to turn on us

We should only employ other than Muslim. Lets see, Islam declared War against All. Kinda simple to figure that out.

Unclear? Well, it’s a hard job fighting ones way back to the 12th century. No grudge too small to fight over. No sister bangin’ brain damage too small to avoid going nuts at the drop of an asshat.

I expect to be hearing similar stories once our 1000 paratroops get to Iraq.

Answer: Bring them home.

The WH declared the Taliban an ‘armed insurgency’ and said they are NOT Terrorists...I heard it today on Fox and it was said to other Media at the WH Press Meeting.

The Taliban are much closer to ordinary terrorists than ISIS. ISIS is an ARMY, with tanks, half-tracks, fuel tankers, convoys, etc., and now several aircraft that they are going to have to learn how to fly, and that travels in formations, AND they wear all-black uniforms!
