Nine killed in Kabul attack were Americans-Pentagon

WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Eight troops and a civilian  contractor killed in a Kabul airport shooting yesterday were  all Americans, a Pentagon spokesman said.  

“The current information we have from ISAF (International  Security Assistance Force) is that eight service members and  one civilian were killed in the attack. … All U.S.,” said  Colonel David Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman.  

The troops and contractor were killed in a shooting  incident involving an Afghan Air Force pilot at Kabul’s airport  today, NATO said. It was one of the deadliest incidents  of “rogue” Afghans turning their weapons on foreign soldiers.
