The Supreme Court on Wednesday cleared the way for a veteran wounded by a suicide bomb in Afghanistan to sue the government contractor for whom the attacker was working when he built the explosive.
Former Army Spc. Winston Hencely was wounded in 2016 when he stopped a man on his way to detonate an explosive vest at a Veterans Day weekend 5K race at Bagram Airfield. Ahmad Nayeb instead blew himself up when he was confronted, killing five people and wounding more than a dozen, according to court documents.
