UK peacekeeping troops in Kabul have been fired on for the first time. An unidentified gunman opened fire on an observation post manned by British paratroopers. The troops from the 2nd battalion of the parachute regiment returned fire and were then withdrawn. The gunman fled in a vehicle. At first light, ISAF troops returned to find a car riddled with bullets and one person dead and five people injured in a house. The injured were taken to hospital. Their injuries did not come from gunshot wounds. He refused to say what caused the death.
Sounds like the shooting at the peacekeepers was incidental to bumping off the person in the house. |
