US security boss shot dead Afghan interpreter

An American supervisor at a security firm shot dead his Afghan interpreter apparently after a disagreement, police here said on Thursday. The Afghan, identified as Noor Ahmad, was working for United States Protection and Investigation (USPI) which is providing security for companies building a road in the western province of Farah, they said.
"An American man ... killed his interpreter inside their camp on Wednesday," provincial police chief Allahuddin Noorzai told AFP. The victim's brother, Sher Ahmad, also said Noor was killed by his boss.
USPI is one of the biggest security firms in Afghanistan, employing hundreds of foreign security guards as well as Afghans, including former members of private militias, to secure construction sites on a ringroad linking the Afghan capital with Kandahar in the south and western Herat.
