At Least 6 Americans Killed in Afghan Gunfight

According to CNN:

Afghan officials have reported that a gunfight broke out in an airport in the Afghan capital of Kabul, killing at least six American service members. Col. Baha Dur announced that, "A 50-year-old man opened fire at armed U.S. military inside the airport after an argument between them turned serious." The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the incident, claiming that a man named Azizullah killed nine foreigners and five Afghans before being gunned down himself. NATO has denied the Taliban's claims, and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has stated that the incident is "still ongoing."
