Six soldiers of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed in a<br />
shooting incident on Monday in east Afghanistan and the alliance said in a press release<br />
that it is probing whether an Afghan police is involved in the bloody attack.<br />
"An individual in an Afghan Border Police uniform turned his weapon against<br />
International Security Assistance Forces during a training mission today, killing six service<br />
members in eastern Afghanistan," ISAF said in a press release issued here.<br />
The individual who fired on the ISAF forces was also killed in the incident.<br />
"A joint Afghan and ISAF team is investigating this incident," the press release added.<br />
However, it did not disclose the nationalities of the victims and the exact place of the<br />
incident saying "It is ISAF policy to defer casualty identification procedures to the<br />
relevant national authorities."<br />

within the ISAF framework to help stabilize security there.<br />
