An Afghan policeman shot dead two American servicemen in the western Farah province, Pajhwok Afghan News reported on Saturday.

In a brief statement, NATO said two U.S. Forces-Afghanistan service members died on Friday as a result of an insider attack in Farah. 

A member of the Afghan Local Police turned his weapon against two USFOR-A service members.  The attacker was shot and killed, it said.

“Officials are investigating the incident to determine the facts and as more information becomes available it will be released as appropriate,” the statement said.

The attack came a week after six American troops were killed in a single day by their local colleagues in southern Helmand province.
