An investigation into the Afghan national police officer who shot and killed a U.S. Army general in Kabul last August found “no clear evidence” the shooter was part of the Taliban or a terrorist group, according to a U.S. Central Command report.
The report into the shooting, which killed Maj. Gen. Harold Greene and wounded 18 others during a visit to the Afghan National Defense University, stated that the shooter, Rafiqullah Tashkera was a “self-radicalized” jihadist.
Rafiqullah opened fired on a group of soldiers that had gathered for a briefing at the university on Aug. 5. Greene, the deputy commanding general of the Combined Security Transition Team—Afghanistan, was the highest ranking officer killed in an overseas conflict since the Vietnam War.
