KABUL, Oct 5 (Reuters) - An Afghan soldier fired a rocket- propelled grenade at an outpost manned by French and Afghan troops in Kapisa province, north of the capital, Kabul, but caused no casualties, the French military said on Tuesday.

“It missed and nobody was injured. The soldier fled and we haven’t caught him,” said French Armed Forces spokesman Colonel Thierry Burkhard said.

The attack was the latest in na recent spate by "rogue" police and soldiers, underlining pressure as NATO-led troops try to train Afghan forces to allow the handover of security responsibility to begin from next July.
