Police \'hunt Afghan suspect\' in Kabul killings

Police are hunting for an Afghan intelligence officer suspected of killing two US officers in a shooting at the interior ministry in Kabul, according to a government source. \"A police officer who worked for the intelligence department of the ministry of interior has disappeared -- officials believe he is the suspect, and they are looking for him,\" an official in the ministry told AFP. NATO on Saturday pulled all its staff out of Afghan government ministries after the shooting, which came as anti-US protests raged for a fifth day over the burning of Korans at a US-run military base. Local television quoted a source as naming the suspect as a 25-year-old who had studied in Pakistan and joined the ministry as a driver in 2007 before being promoted. He had signed into the ministry on Saturday before disappearing. The two US officers were found dead in their office with gunshot wounds. Taliban insurgents have claimed responsibility for the shooting, saying it was in revenge for the Koran burning -- an incident that forced US President Barack Obama to apologise to the Afghan people. NATO, which has a 130,000-strong US-led military force fighting an insurgency in Afghanistan, has advisors throughout the Afghan government but commanding officer General John Allen ordered them all withdrawn after the shooting.
