KABUL, Afghanistan (March 24) – An Afghan local national was killed March 24 during an escalation-of-force incident north of Pule Alam in Logar province.

The incident occurred when a vehicle approached an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) dismounted patrol at a high rate of speed. Members of the patrol attempted to stop the vehicle using visual signals and several warning shots, all of which were ignored by the driver.

Medical aid was rendered immediately and he was transported by Afghan National Police to the nearest medical facility where he was pronounced dead.
