"KABUL, Afghanistan - A United States Army major general was killed on
Tuesday by an Afghan soldier, shot at close range at a military training
academy on the outskirts of Kabul, officials of the American-led coalition
said Tuesday. The officer was the highest-ranking member of the American
military to die in hostilities in the Afghanistan war.
The coalition officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity and would not
release the name of the major general, said an unspecified number of other
service members of the American-led coalition and Afghan soldiers, including
a senior Afghan commander, also were shot. Their conditions were not
immediately known.
Other details of the shooting were sketchy, and the coalition, in an
official statement, would only confirm that one of its service members had
been killed in what it described as "an incident" at the Marshall Fahim
National Defense University in Kabul. The coalition declined to specify any
further details, saying it was still working to notify the family of the
deceased"
