The Pentagon is investigating “an apparent insider attack” in the Tarin Kowt district of Afghanistan’s Uruzgan Province on July 7 that killed two service members in U.S. Central Command and wounded two others.

The servicemembers were killed while supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, according to a July 9 Pentagon report. The operation is the codename for the global war on terrorism, which began in October 2001.
