Recently, there was an incident between U.S. and Afghan soldiers. Two Americans and three Afghans were killed. When questioned, the Afghans said that the American soldiers attacked first. When the Americans were questioned, they said the Afghans attacked them first. However, both sides regret the attack. Two different Afghan officials were questioned. Even they had two different stories. One believes that the fight started when a mortar shell accidentally hit two of the U.S. soldiers. The other said that it began when an Afghan soldier open-fired on the Americans. In any case, it is unclear what happened. Both sides should have been working together on a project. Many restrictions have been put on joint patrolling.
There are also suspicions that the incident is linked to the derogatory youtube video about their prophet Muhammad. It also could have been planned by the Taliban.
