Truck Bomb in Afghanistan Makes “Try” For Panetta’s Plane
- US Marines Ordered to Place Weapons on the Ground -
Moments ago, a truck bomb exploded on a British airstrip in Helmand province in Afghanistan, believed to be an unsuccessful attempt to kill US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. The driver survived with serious burns and is under arrest.
One British soldier is seriously injured.
American security personnel traveling with Panetta were told other threats were likely including an attack from Afghan soldiers at the base.
American Marines accompanying Panetta were ordered disarmed in an unusual move to dispel an idea of mistrust or insult.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
