U.S. Maj. Gen. Harold Greene Killed in Afghanistan

The U.S. Army two-star major general killed in an insider attack at a military training facility in Kabul Tuesday has been identified as Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene. The upstate New York native was the deputy commanding general of the command in charge of the training and development of the Afghan army — making him the highest-ranking U.S. military member killed since the Afghanistan war began, according to The New York Times. More than a dozen soldiers, including several Americans, were injured in the Tuesday attack at a gathering of U.S. and Afghan military brass when a gunman in an Afghan military uniform opened fire with an automatic weapon.
