Remote-Controlled Bomb Explodes Near U.S. Vehicle
Attackers set off a remote-controlled bomb near a vehicle carrying U.S. special forces along Afghanistan's eastern border with Pakistan, but no casualties were reported. The device went off as the troops were conducting a reconnaissance patrol at a border checkpoint near the eastern town of Khost, Col. Rodney Davis, the U.S. military spokesman, said in a statement from Bagram Air Base. "The device was detonated by remote control. There were no injuries and only a cracked windshield and headlamp to the vehicle," Davis said. Bet the boomer was across the border when he pushed the button. Misjudged the distance or the speed of the vehicle.
