Afghan driver attack NATO base

Afghanistan (AP):

An Afghan driver working for Spanish police opened fire on a NATO base yesterday, killing three Spaniards, including two police trainers and an interpreter, before dying in a hail of gunfire.

Afghans angry at the driver's death stormed the base in north-western Badghis province with stones and set fire to at least one vehicle, underscoring the brewing resentment among many Afghans over the presence of foreigners on their soil and the problems in rapidly expanding Afghanistan's security forces.

Details of the shooting were unclear, but Spain's interior minister, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, described it as a "terrorist attack".
