Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is safe after a hijacked truck rushed
an airfield runway ramp as his plane was landing in southern
Afghanistan Wednesday, Pentagon officials and journalists traveling
with him report.
"An Afghan civilian stole a military pickup truck, rammed through a
fence, and crashed into a ditch by a runway around the time that
[Panetta's] plane" landed in southern Afghanistan, the Washington Post
reported.
The NATO-led force in Afghanistan "is aware of a stolen vehicle
incident today at Camp Bastion, which resulted in the injury of one
coalition service member," the International Security Assistance Force
command (ISAF) said in a statement Wednesday. "The alleged perpetrator
was apprehended by base security personnel. We are currently
investigating to determine more facts."
