(BBC) Kabul – Four French troops have been killed in northern Afghanistan after a soldier from the Afghan National Army opened fire, local officials say. Sixteen more members of the French armed forces were injured in the incident in Kapisa province. An official told the BBC that an Afghan non-commissioned officer got into a “verbal clash” and opened fire.
President Nicolas Sarkozy said it was “unacceptable” for French troops to be fired on by their allies.
