Men in Afghan police uniform shoot dead Nato soldier

A Nato soldier in eastern Afghanistan has been shot dead by three men in Afghan police uniform, officials say.

The men fled the area after Sunday's attack, Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) says.

It says the incident is now under investigation.

There have been a growing number of cases where Afghan soldiers have killed Nato colleagues. More than 20 foreign troops have been killed in "rogue shootings" this year.
