Police say Afghan policewoman kills US adviser in Kabul

 
 

KABUL (AP) - An Afghan policewoman killed an American adviser at the Kabul police headquarters on Monday, a senior Afghan police official said.

Kabul's Deputy Police Chief Mohammad Daoud Amin said it has not been determined whether the killing was intentional or accidental and that an investigation is under way. He declined to elaborate on the circumstances of the killing or give more details.

It was also not known whether the victim was a US military or civilian adviser.

The Nato military command said it was looking into reports of the shooting but had no independent information.
