KABUL, Afghanistan - An American general was killed in an apparent insider attack Tuesday by a member of the Afghan security forces, a Pentagon spokesman said, the highest-ranking U.S. Army officer to be killed in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
The spokesman, Rear Adm.
John Kirby, said that the assailant, dressed in an Afghan army uniform, fired into a group of international soldiers at the Marshal Fahim National Defense University at Camp Qargha, a base west of Kabul, and was subsequently killed.
The American general was identified late Tuesday as Major Gen.
Harold Greene. Gen. Greene was deputy chief of the training and assistance command which is at the heart of the American strategy to pull its combat troops out of Afghanistan by the end of this year.
As a two-star general, he was the highest ranking American officer killed since 9/11, when one of the hijacked airliners smashed into the pentagon, killing, among others, a three-star General Timothy Maude.
