Afghan 'soldier' kills Nato serviceman in Zabul

A man dressed in Afghan army uniform has shot dead a Nato soldier in southern Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) says.

Nato said a coalition service-member was killed in Zabul province on Sunday, apparently by a member of the Afghan National Army.

Afghan military sources said the Afghan man was then shot dead by Nato troops.

It is the latest in a series of attacks by apparently rogue soldiers, which have raised fears of Taliban influence.
