BBC News - The Afghan 'green-on-blue' attacker seen as a hero: "On 4 April 2011, Samaruddin opened fire on two US soldiers in the northern province of Faryab, killing them both before fleeing.
It was one of dozens of "green-on-blue" attacks in which Afghan security personnel have targeted their Western allies since 2007. More than 100 soldiers in have been killed in one of the gravest security threats to Nato in recent years.
Samaruddin was tracked down three days later.
Nato said that "in the course of conducting an operation to detain him, he was shot and killed while trying to escape from the house he was hiding in"."
