Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A man alleged to be a local Afghan policeman killed a NATO service member in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, the second fatal shooting of NATO service members in a day, both apparently at the hands of their Afghan comrades.
Two British members of NATO's International Security Assistance Force were shot and killed earlier in the southern province of Helmand by an Afghan army soldier, NATO and local officials said.

The nationality of the third person killed Monday wasn't immediately known. NATO said he was shot as he approached an Afghan Local Police checkpoint; it said Afghan and coalition forces are investigating the incident but released no further details.
