The attacker was killed by coalition troops, Isaf said. The nationalities of the soldiers have not been released....

An official in the Afghan defence ministry told the BBC that the attack happened in Helmand province, and that the attacker was an Afghan soldier.

A spokesman for the governor of Helmand said the shooting followed a "verbal clash" between Afghan and Nato soldiers, and that the Afghan involved was from Kunar province.

Lt Col Jimmie Cummings, the Isaf spokesman in Kabul, told the BBC: "An individual wearing an Afghan national army uniform turned his weapon against Isaf force service members in southern Afghanistan today, killing two of our service members.

"The individual who opened fire was killed when coalition forces returned fire, and right now a joint Afghan and Isaf team are investigating this."

The attack is the latest in a number of "green on blue" incidents - where members of the Afghan security forces turn their weapons on their international colleagues or trainers."...
