Afghan officials and NATO have expressed concern over the alarming rise in insider attacks, which have killed 47 NATO-led forces personnel this year.
The Pentagon has expanded counter intelligence staff in Afghanistan after a surge in insider attacks by Afghans thought to be friendly to US forces.
Earlier, president Obama had said that the United States needed to implement more safeguards for US troops in the worn-torn Afghanistan.
“I’ll be reaching out to President Karzai as well because we’ve got to make sure that we’re on top of this,” Obama had said.
Defence Secretary Leon Panetta also seemed deeply concerned about the killings “because of the lives lost and because of the potential damage to our partnership efforts,” Panetta had stated.

Once again!!!!!! I am surprised that why US' and NATO's troops are not learning the lesson from all what has been happening to them in Afghanistan and despite seeing all this US' and NATO's officials have been still claiming that the world has been secured from the Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists' backbone has been broken and Afghanistan shall be saved from Taliban??????
And they think they saved Afghans...
