Obama gets American 2-Star General killed, German general wounded in Afghan attack.

Obama should be impeached and jailed for this.

(Reuters) - A U.S. general was killed and more than a dozen
people were wounded, including a German general, in the latest
insider attack by a man believed to be an Afghan soldier, U.S.,
German and Afghan officials said on Tuesday.

The slain general, whose identity was not immediately released
by the Pentagon, was believed to be the most senior U.S.
military official killed in action in Afghanistan since the war
there began in 2001.

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby told reporters that
"many were seriously wounded" and the gunman was killed in the
attack, which took place on Tuesday at the Marshal Fahim
National Defense University, a training center in Kabul.

The attack raised fresh questions about the ability of NATO
soldiers to train and advise Afghan security forces as western
nations gradually withdraw. The U.S. and German generals were on
a routine visit, the Pentagon said.

A U.S. official said the gunman fired on the foreign soldiers
using a light machinegun. Afghanistan's Defense Ministry
described him as a "terrorist in army uniform."

The German military said its general was one of 14 coalition
troops wounded in Tuesday's attack. It said his life was not in
danger. Seven Americans and five British troops were among the
wounded, an Afghan official said.

Past insider attacks have eroded trust while straining foreign
efforts to train Afghanistan's 350,000-strong security force and
prepare them to fight the Taliban once most U.S. and NATO forces
depart.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with General
Joe Dunford, who commands U.S. and international troops in
Afghanistan, about the incident, Kirby said. He said the
shooting was being investigated jointly by Afghan authorities
and the international military coalition that is winding down
its long mission in Afghanistan.

The Afghan president was quick to condemn the attack, saying the
delegation had been visiting the facility to help build
Afghanistan's security forces.

The Taliban says insider attacks reflect their ability to
infiltrate the enemy. International military coalition officials
say the incidents often arise over misunderstandings or
altercations between troops.

In 2012, dozens of incidents forced international troops to take
measures to reduce interaction with their Afghan partners. Since
then, the number of insider attacks has fallen sharply.

Like other western nations, the United States is planning to
leave a residual force in Afghanistan after the NATO mission
ends this year, in part to support Afghan forces. But U.S.
officials say that first they must sign a bilateral troop deal,
which cannot be finalized until Afghanistan resolves an election
dispute and confirms its new president.

In a similar attack on Tuesday, several people were wounded in
eastern Paktia province when a policeman opened fire on
international and Afghan forces, police chief Zalmay Oryakhil
said.

Adding to the tension, a NATO air strike hit a vehicle carrying
civilians in western Herat province, local officials said,
killing four members of a family returning from a wedding,
including two children.
