Senior ISAF member killed in green-on-blue attack in southern Afghanistan The International Security Assistance Force reported that a senior ISAF member was shot and killed today by an "alleged contracted security guard" in southern Afghanistan. The killing is the third green-on-blue attack in the country within the past two weeks. The name and nationality of the slain ISAF member was not disclosed, and ISAF and Afghan officials are investigating the incident. The release did not say whether anyone had been injured in the attack. The attack appears to have taken place in Zabul province, as Ghulam Gelani Farahee, the deputy police chief for the province, said he had been informed of the incident, which took place at a remote location. He also said that the alleged attacker, who was known as a "local guard," had been contracted by NATO. The attack is the third since Sept. 21, when an Afghan National Army soldier opened fire on US special forces near Gardez in Paktia province, killing three and wounding one more before being shot by US forces in return fire.
