A U.S. Army General has been killed in what appears to be an insider attack in Afghanistan.

Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby

SOUNDBITE: Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby saying:

"I can confirm that an individual believed to be an Afghan soldier fired today into a group of coalition troops at the Marshall Fahim National Defense University in Kabul City, Afghanistan. There are a number of casualties as the result of the shooting, perhaps up to fifteen, to include some Americans. Many were seriously wounded, others received only minor injuries. The assailant was killed. I can also confirm that among the casualties was an American general officer, who was killed. Given that the family notification process is not yet complete, I cannot and will not release any additional information about the general. I'm sure you can understand that we want to respect the notification process, and the family's privacy at this time."
