But an Afghan soldier fell and accidentally discharged his weapon, killing two American soldiers with the errant rounds, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He didn&#8217;t do this intentionally. But then the commander of the unit started shouting at him, `What did you do? You killed two NATO soldiers!&#8217; And so he threw down his weapon and started to run,&#8221; Hatefi added. The U.S. troops had already called in air support to help with the insurgent attack and the aircraft fired on the escaping Afghan soldier from above, killing him, Hatefi said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, that sounds totally plausible, doesn&#8217;t it?
