KABUL — The two U.S. Navy sailors who went missing Friday afternoon left a base on the outskirts of Kabul called Camp Julien, which houses NATO’s counter-insurgency academy, and might have taken a wrong turn that sent them toward Logar province, according to NATO officials.
Although NATO still characterizes both men as missing, Afghan officials, along with a Taliban spokesman, said one of them was killed during a shootout with insurgents in the dangerous Charkh district of Logar. Their disappearance has prompted a vast manhunt in Logar, as both U.S. and Afghan troops are searching cars and houses for the Americans.

After the apparent killing of one American and the abduction of another, NATO has tightened its security. Now U.S. military personnel are prohibited from driving alone and must travel in at least two vehicle convoys, NATO officials said.
