Nato pulls out of Afghan ministries after Kabul attack

25 February 2012 Last updated at 14:23 ET

Nato has withdrawn all its personnel from Afghan ministries after two senior US officers were shot dead in the interior ministry building in Kabul.

Nato said an "individual" had turned his gun on the officers, believed to be a colonel and major, and had not yet been identified or caught.

Nato commander Gen John Allen condemned the attack as "cowardly".

The shootings come amid five days of deadly protests over the burning of copies of the Koran by US soldiers.

"We are investigating the crime and will pursue all leads to find the person responsible for this attack," Allen said, adding, "The perpetrator of this attack is a coward whose actions will not go unanswered."

Western officials speaking on condition of anonymity said the two advisers, including a lieutenant colonel and a major, were shot at close range in the back of the head.
