CNN's current headline tells us: "Man opens fire." They've only left themselves one more level of politically correct vagueness: "person opens fire." "Afghan official: Man opens fire on Americans in Kabul; 6 dead," by Nick Paton Walsh for CNN, April 27:
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- At least six American service members were killed Wednesday when a man opened fire on troops and a "gunfight" ensued at an airport in the Afghan capital, military officials said.
A NATO official backed off earlier reports that eight coalition service members and a contractor were killed, saying that the alliance could only confirm six International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops were killed. It did not disclose their nationalities.
The incident -- which occurred at the Afghan national air force compound at North Kabul International Airport -- stems from an argument between an Afghan pilot and an international colleague, officials said.
"A 50-year-old man opened fire at armed U.S. military soldiers inside the airport after an argument between them turned serious," said Col. Baha Dur, chief of public relations for the Afghan National Army at Kabul military airport.
NATO said the confrontation took place at 10:25 a.m. at North Kabul International Airport, where a quick reaction force responded to a "small arms fire incident." The airport is home to NATO Air Training Command Afghanistan.
An ISAF spokesman said the incident was "still ongoing."
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting, saying a man named Azizullah was responsible.
"One suicide attacker ... managed to attack an Afghan military unit and has managed to kill many Afghan and international soldiers," said Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid.
The Taliban said the man killed nine foreigners and five Afghans before being killed by the Afghan army.
"All I can tell you now is that we had worked hard on this plan for a long time," Mujahid told CNN.
NATO denied the Taliban claim.
"We do not know why it started but there is no indication that a suicide bomber was involved and there are no reports that someone managed to get into the base to do this," an ISAF statement said.
The Taliban has claimed responsibility for previous conflicts between NATO service members and members of the Afghan military. CNN could not independently verify the group's claims.
Violence between Afghan forces and NATO troops is a matter of extreme concern for NATO officials, and it is growing in frequency.
There have been 36 NATO deaths in the past two years attributed to attacks by people perceived to be Afghan soldiers or police. Officials fear that the increasing frequency of the attacks could undermine trust between NATO troops and the Afghans they are [sic] working hard to prepare so they can eventually take over security in the country....
It's now up to eight dead. We're hearing that they were US troops and that the Taliban have fessed up to it; but can't corroborate yet - and I don't think we can rule out Sudden Jihad Syndrome, either.
No matter how much Jizya we pay them, how much we protect them and help them abroad; or how much we pander to and fete them at home - they still despise us.
It's time to pull out and leave the job to special forces and drones. And it's time to rethink Muslim immigration.
"No matter how much Jizya we pay them, how much we protect them and help them abroad; or how much we pander to and fete them at home - they still despise us."
Never forget this!
Afghan pilot?...Makes me remember the many Muslim pilot trainees that walked off and disappeared from the military training school in the USA (Texas , as I recall)..
"NATO said the confrontation took place at 10:25 a.m. at North Kabul International Airport,".......Not long ago another incident at a Muslim airport that started with an argument as troops were getting off a bus resulted in dead troops...maybe when the troops see an argument developing that involves Muslims the safties must come off..common mingling grounds such as the airport seem to be a prime target for "Sudden Jihad Syndrome"....of couse "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" is usually anything but sudden, it is often planned out long before the actual attack occurs..
From the article:
"One suicide attacker ... managed to attack an Afghan military unit and has managed to kill many Afghan and international soldiers," said Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid.
The Taliban said the man killed nine foreigners and five Afghans before being killed by the Afghan army.
"All I can tell you now is that we had worked hard on this plan for a long time," Mujahid told CNN.

Didn't some coward Western leftie Socialist idiots are calling for coalition with this vile Islamic Nazi Talebans? Looks like the Taleban's most evil and savage crimes of mass murder, rape and torture, including towards women/girls and non-Muslims (including converts from Islam), will go unpunished instead of ending up in the International War Crime Court in the Hague! The world needs another Churchillian! See how Churchill, the great liberator of humanity from Fascism and the Nazis, saw through the evil of Islam at - http://www.islam-watch.org/AdrianMorgan/Winston-Churchill-Islamism.htm
Winston Churchill On Islamism
by Adrian Morgan
10 April, 2007
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill...was born into privilege but he gained first-hand knowledge of Islam in the army. He joined the Fourth Hussars in 1895, and was posted in the North-West Frontier of India (now Pakistan), bordering Afghanistan. During this time, he became a war correspondent, working with full approval of Sir Bindon Blood, chief staff officer of the Chitral relief force. Originally, Churchill's reports were sent anonymously by telegram and letter to the Pioneer Mail. Eventually he was writing for the London Daily Telegraph under his own name.... Churchill wrote: "Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness."......
When he was describing Nazism, Churchill said: "An appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last." He also said: "Victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance." Those words should be heeded. In the current struggle against the spread of Islamism, they are as true today as they were 65 years ago.

Still waiting for that USA-trained Muslim pilot to turn his weapons on Western targets.
I suspect a fully armed fighter plane could do a lot of damage, though not half as much as politicians incapable of identifying the underlying cause.
According to the BBC, who are obviously not politically correct and are absolutely free of bias, the culprit must be mentally disturbed or ill. I can confidentially confirm the diagnosis: The mental illness of this murderer is Jihaddist Islam. It is usually transmitted in mosques and madrassahs by Imams and Mullahs, and can be fatal when engaged in violent activities, either at the hands of those trying to stop the patient from killing others, or through the suicide of the patient while either killing or trying to kill others.
Beside sever Paranoia, the patients suffer from severe delusions that they were selected by God, the creator of all life, to go and kill all others who do not fully agree with them or share their illogical delusions.

Um.. that's four.
deebartok, you can get some idea how they get the stories through this article by Carol Gristani of NBC
http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2008/05/06/4376082-face-to-face-with-a-taliban-commander
The United States if not most of the world has been calling Islamic Terrorism anything but what it is. Afraid it might upset someone I suppose. Sends the worst kind of message to those whom want non-Muslims to submit. It sends a message of fear and ignorance on the United States behalf. And that kind of message only encourages more of the same.
