Utah mayor killed in Afghanistan while on National Guard deployment
Brent Taylor was killed Saturday in an "insider attack" in Kabul, according to a statement from the Utah National Guard to Fox 13 Salt Lake City, while the terrorist responsible was immediately killed by Afghan forces.
"These reports also indicate the attacker was immediately killed by other Afghan Forces," the statement said. "The incident is under investigation."
The attacker was reportedly posing as a member of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, which U.S. officials have hoped can take over battling terror groups in the region in the coming years.
