Suicide bomber attacks Italian base in Herat, west Afghanistan.
A suicide attacker blew up an explosives-packed car Monday at the gates of an Italian military base in Herat, officials said, while a second explosion ripped through a busy downtown intersection in the normally secure city, which is preparing to be handed over to Afghan control in July.
The attacks killed at least four people. Italy’s Defence Minister said no Italians died.
Tempesta got a phone call from Voss: he is OK, fortunately.
