美軍少將身亡 或遭阿富汗士兵槍擊

A gunman dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire on allied troops, killing a US army two-star major general and wounding 15 coalition troops, including a German brigadier general and two Afghan generals.
一名身穿阿富汗軍服的槍手向聯軍開火，導致一名美軍二星少將遇襲身亡，另還有15名士兵受傷，包括一名德國軍隊准將和兩名阿富汗將軍。

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed in a statement, that the incident occurred on Tuesday at The Marshal Fahim National Defense University in Kabul City, Afghanistan.
國際安全援助部隊在一則聲明中確認，週二的這場襲擊發生在阿富汗喀布爾法希姆元帥國防大學。

“At this time, ISAF can confirm one ISAF service member was killed. This incident is under investigation,” the statement reads. “It is ISAF policy to defer casualty identification to the relevant national authorities,” it added.
聲明寫道：“國際安全援助部隊目前確認一名部隊服役人員已經身亡。事件正在調查中。根據部隊政策，傷亡人員確認工作將交由相關國家政府進行。”

The killed American officer has eventually been identified by the US military as Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, a 34-year veteran, who was the deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan in Kabul.
美國軍方而後確認在襲擊中喪生的美國軍官是34歲的老兵少將哈羅德·J·格林。他在喀布爾擔任阿富汗聯合安全轉型指揮部副指揮官。

Greene is the highest-ranking US officer to die in combat since the 1970 Vietnam War.
格林是自1970年越戰之後陣亡的最高級別美國軍官。

There was no indication that the American major general was specifically targeted, a US official told AP on condition of anonymity. A preliminary investigation suggests the Afghan gunman was inside a building and fired indiscriminately from a window at the people gathered outside.
一名匿名美國官員向美國聯合通訊社表示，沒有跡象表明襲擊針對該名美國軍官。初步調查顯示，阿富汗槍手當時藏在一棟大樓中通過窗戶向外掃射。

The Taliban hailed the militant who carried out the shooting as a “hero,” but did not claim responsibility for the attack.
塔利班將暗殺者稱爲“英雄”，但並未宣稱對此事負責。
