One American soldier is dead and two Italian service members are wounded after an Afghan soldier fired on fellow servicemen at a shared Afghan and foreign base. Like Malik Hasan at Fort Hood, the soldier is believed to be mentally unstable. The shooter hails from northern Afghanistan, which typically has a smaller Taliban presence than the rest of the country but has seen a recent increase, and the Taliban claimed responsibility after a similar incident at a British base last month. NATO and U.S. spokespeople have yet to comment further than to announce the casualty.
