Rocket attack damages top US military officer's plane in Afghanistan | | Two rocket attacks on a US military airbase in Afghanistan
on Tuesday damaged the plane of the top US military officer, leaving two
people wounded. "Two rockets struck Bagram Airbase last
night after mid-night, causing some damage to an aircraft in the airbase. The
aircraft was used by General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff," An officer of the press department of the airbase, who declined to
be identified, told Xinhua, adding that General Dempsey left the base later on
Tuesday using another plane. Two maintenance crew members were wounded in the
attack, the officer further said. General Martin Dempsey pays an unannounced visit
to Afghanistan on Monday, only one day after a man wearing an Afghan National
Police uniform opened fire against U.S. forces, killing one U.S. soldier with
the coalition in southern Kandahar province, the latest in the series of insider
attacks when Afghan army, police or gunmen in their uniform turned their weapons against coalition forces. |
