CNN: Taliban attack on covert US base in Afghanistan complicates Biden withdrawal decision
Washington (CNN)In one of the most significant attacks against US forces in Afghanistan recently, CNN has learned that the Taliban twice targeted one of the most heavily guarded bases in the country late last month and that US military personnel working for the CIA were at the installation when it came under fire.
Rockets landed near Forward Operating Base Chapman, a classified US military installation in eastern Afghanistan, and wounded seven civilians outside the base, according to a US official familiar with the details.
During a second attack, a water tower was hit and a few rounds landed on the base, though no US personnel were killed or injured.
The attacks, which have not been widely reported, were followed by another in Kandahar this week, where Taliban rockets landed near a NATO air base used by US and coalition troops providing support to Afghan forces.

Did they do that under Trump?
Must be his incompetence. They didn't want to embarrass the orange man, cnn, that currently cheers on every war hated so much.
The guy who tried to get you OUT of wars that cost trillions.
The US is reneging on a peace deal, so the Taliban and Pakistan are out to cause as many casualties as possible to make President Puppet look bad. You cannot make Kamala feel bad. She will just laugh hysterically. Shot Caller is safe in his sea level mansion after doing the Moses thing and lowering the seal level.
More coal pants no than at any time of the presidency of Obozo, but he lowered the sea level.
More coal plants*
