Shooting at Afghan army base kills 4

HERAT, Afghanistan (Reuters) - An exchange of small arms fire at an army base in Afghanistan's western city of Herat on Monday killed four Afghan soldiers, a spokeswoman for the provincial governor said.

Farzana Ahmadi said authorities had arrested one soldier and suspected he had links with guerrillas fighting the government and foreign troops stationed in Afghanistan.

"Four soldiers were killed in the shooting and authorities say probably the soldier who fired had links with government opponents," she said referring to insurgents led by the ousted Taliban.

Two provincial officials said the exchange was sparked due to a "personal dispute" between two Afghan soldiers. They said 10 Afghan soldiers and two U.S. soldiers were wounded.
