Kabul , Afghanistan ( CNN ) -- A man in an Afghan police uniform opened fire on NATO troops in Afghanistan , killing one , NATO said , in what seems to be the latest of dozens of cases of Afghan security forces turning their weapons on international troops who are supposed to be their allies . An Albanian soldier was killed , and three other troops were injured , including two Albanians and an American , according to the provincial government in Kandahar , where the shooting took place . The violence resulted from an argument between Afghan police and coalition soldiers who were distributing paperwork to students in the area , the Kandahar media office said . An arrest was made and the incident was being investigated , the media office said . NATO 's International Security Assistance Force released a short statement confirming the shooting and the death without giving the nationality of the soldier or any other details . There have been at least 42 attacks by Afghan security forces on their international allies in the past five years , a top U.S. lawmaker said earlier this month . Most attackers were acting on their own , rather than being puppets of insurgent groups , defense officials testified before the House Armed Services Committee . France suspended its operations in Afghanistan this year after two such incidents left six French troops dead . U.S. Rep. Buck McKeon , a California Republican who chairs the Armed Services Committee , detailed at least 42 attackers , all members of the Afghan National Security Force , between 2007 and 2011 . The panel heard testimony from defense officials who laid out delicate issues pertaining to Afghan security forces , among them the vetting of Afghans brought onto coalition bases to provide security . The defense officials said that in 58 % of cases , the attackers acted on their own accord , perhaps over a personal dispute . Such disputes can arise from cultural misunderstanding , religious and ideological friction or combat stress , said Brig . Gen. Stephen Townsend , director of the Pakistan/Afghanistan Coordination Cell in the Joint Chiefs of Staff office . He said cultural training has been vital for U.S. soldiers , and now the Afghans are considering doing the same in providing better understanding of Americans . Another group of perpetrators involved insurgents who were able to pass themselves off as Afghan soldiers and infiltrate bases . The incidents represent a fraction of the total coalition deaths in the war but are are extremely damaging , fueling a mutual distrust in a critical moment in Afghanistan 's transition , the experts said . The NATO-led military coalition is attempting to help transition local forces to take over security in war-ravaged Afghanistan as foreign troop levels fall . President Barack Obama has announced a U.S. withdrawal in 2014 . France suspended its operations after four French soldiers were killed by Afghan counterparts in eastern Kapisa province in January . That shooting followed an incident in December where another Afghan soldier killed two French soldiers . `` The French army is not in Afghanistan to be shot at by Afghan soldiers , '' French President Nicolas Sarkozy said after the shootings . CNN 's Masoud Popalzai contributed to this report .
Three other ISAF soldiers were wounded in the shooting . A U.S. congressional panel recently addressed this issue . Similar shootings have angered France .
