An Afghan police officer has opened fire on NATO troops and Afghan soldiers, in the latest reported attack by Afghan security forces on their international partners.

A spokesman for the NATO-led military coalition said one foreign soldier and a member of the Afghan intelligence agency were injured in the shooting in the remote eastern Nangarhar Province.

The attacker escaped.

A NATO spokesman, Major Martin Crighton, said the shooter was a member of the Afghan police, but he was not wearing his uniform at the time of the attack.

A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the shooting.

It was the fifth such attack by Afghan security forces or militants wearing Afghan uniforms in the last week.

Seven soldiers with the NATO coalition have been killed in the attacks.

since Afghan patriot who tried to dispatch some NATO minions to Allah did not succeed, Hillary Clinton is not rejoycing today. Perhaps CIA should better train their Wahhabi friends next time

US Army is the best fighting force in the world! It is fighting itself to death in Afghanistan, all thanks to brightest of the bright minds - Hillary Clinton. She made sure US soldiers do not waste their time golfing. She constantly sends them surprises via her contacts among Wahhabi Sunni freedom fighters. Sunni freedom fighters do not just kill Syrian people or Iraqi people, they liberate US soldiers and other NATO minions as well. Hillary Clinton is so bright I do not need electricity in my home - she just shines through
