Several sources now saying this was a Green on Blue (again).

The injured are at hospital, safe and expected to recover, with only 1 currently critical. I’ll post more later as allowed and appropriate. 2 KIA (1SF & 1SOD-A)

From Fox News
Two U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers who were killed when American and Afghan troops were fired on during a mission in Afghanistan were identified by the Pentagon on Sunday.
The soldiers, both assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, were Sgt. 1st Class Javier Jaguar Gutierrez of San Antonio, Texas and Sgt. 1st Class Antonio Rey Rodriguez of Las Cruces, N.M.
Both soldiers, who were both posthumously promoted, were 28 years old, according to the Department of Defense. U.S. Special Forces soldiers are also called Green Berets.

The attackers were wearing uniforms, but not part of the group for the KLE, nor were they part of ANA. Was meant to look like insider attack and disrupt current peace talks.
