One US citizen was killed and another wounded in a shooting at a US embassy annex in Kabul, the embassy said today.
"There was a shooting incident at an annex of the US embassy in Kabul involving an Afghan employee who was killed," said US embassy spokesman Gavin Sundwall. "One US citizen was killed, one was wounded."
Sundwall said the Afghan employee was behind the attack and that he had acted as "a lone gunman."
"The motivation for the attack is still under investigation," he added.
The incident took place last night inside the Ariana Hotel compound, an annex to the US embassy.
An Afghan government official speaking anonymously to AFP said the Ariana compound was used by the CIA.
