Senior US Officer Was One of Insider Attack Victims

So called 'Guardian Angel' Policy(above) failed in this incident
Albany, N.Y. (AP) - Two of the three Americans killed in an insider attack in Afghanistan over the weekend were from upstate New York.
Relatives and friends of Lt. Colonel Todd Clark tell Albany-area media that he was killed Saturday by an Afghan soldier he was training. The 40-year-old Albany native served in the Army's 10th Mountain Division based at Fort Drum in northern New York. His survivors include his wife and two children.
The Times Union of Albany reports that those confirming Clarks's death include his father, Jack Clark, a retired Army colonel.
WNYT-TV reports that the other New Yorker killed was Joseph Morabito of Hunter in Greene County. Morabito would have turned 55 Monday. His wife tells the station her husband was a civilian law enforcement professional.
