This is a really strange report. If accurate it's an illustration of how very tenuous the US/Afghan/Pakistan relationship truly is.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A shooting Monday involving American soldiers near the Afghan frontier has locked Afghan and Pakistani officials into a war of words.
An Afghan government spokesman claimed a Pakistani officer shot dead two U.S. soldiers during a meeting. A Pakistani army spokesman disputed that assertion and said instead that unidentified militants opened fire on a convoy, wounding at least three U.S. soldiers and three Pakistani soldiers.
Pakistani Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said that unidentified "miscreants" fired at the convoy carrying military officials who attended the meeting in Teri Mangal, in the Kurram tribal agency.
