KABUL (Reuters) - Romanian soldiers from the NATO-led Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan killed an Afghan policeman who was trying to carry out an insider attack after a training session in the southern province of Kandahar on Saturday, officials said. <\/p>\n
One Romanian was wounded in the attack while an Afghan policeman was wounded in the crossfire, a statement from Resolute Support headquarters in Kabul said. <\/p>\n
\"The advisers had completed a scheduled law enforcement training and were preparing to return to base when they were attacked by a member of the Afghan National Civil Order Police,\" the statement said. <\/p>\n
Romanian soldiers providing security returned fire and killed the attacker, it said. <\/p>\n
The attack, which came as the United States is considering increasing the number of troops it has in Afghanistan, was the latest in a series of so-called \"green-on-blue\" incidents that have complicated the training and assistance mission. <\/p>\n
In June, three American soldiers were killed and seven wounded in two separate incidents, a week apart. In May last year, two members of the Romanian special forces were killed and a third was wounded when a local policeman opened fire on them. <\/p>\n
