Five U.S. troops wounded in Afghanistan on 9/11 anniversary - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Five U.S. troops were wounded in an apparent suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan Monday, the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that propelled the United States into a war still raging today. The suicide bomber drove a car bomb into an armored convoy near the Bagram Air Base in northern Afghanistan, officials told Fox News. The attack affected the NATO-led coalition, Operation Resolute Support, and at least one more troop from an undisclosed country was wounded in the bombing, as well. [...] More than 2,400 U.S. troops have been killed Afghanistan since President George W. Bush launched a war there in 2001. Estimates vary regarding the financial cost of the war in Afghanistan, but they range between $841 billion and $2 trillion. In August, President Donald Trump announced he would increase U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan."

Comment:  It was a somber 9/11 anniversary all around. Praying that the security services will continue to be vigilant against potential attacks and that the weapons of the enemy will be turned back against them.
