3 Army Rangers killed, 1 wounded in Afghan solider attack, official says

Three Army Rangers were killed Saturday and one wounded when an Afghan army solider opened fire on them in an attack in eastern Afghanistan for which the Taliban claimed responsibility, officials said.

Attahullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar province, told Fox News the insider attack took place in the Achin district, where US military dropped the "Mother of All Bombs" earlier this year to wipe out an ISIS cave complex.

He said two American soldiers were killed and two wounded.

“The Afghan army soldier was killed in return fire,” he said.

A senior U.S. military official confirmed that three soldiers were killed in the attack and that they were Army Rangers. The wounded soldier was also an Army Ranger.
