KABUL, Dec 24 (Reuters) – An Afghan policewoman shot dead on

Monday a U.S. forces member in the compound of the chief of

police in the capital, Kabul, police and Afghanistan’s NATO-led

force said.

“A U.S. police adviser was killed in an attack by an Afghan

policewoman,” a spokesman for the NATO force said.

Mohammad Zahir, head of the police criminal investigation

department, described the incident as an “insider attack” in

which Afghan forces turn their weapons on Western troops they

are supposed to be working with.
