"At 210947ZNOV06, Khowst PRT reported a suicide bomber (SBIED) attacked a patrol approximately 1.5km southwest of FOB Salerno after the patrol exited the South Gate of FOB Salerno. The PRT convoy was returning to the Khowst PRT when the bomber attacked the unit. The bomber was wearing a suicide vest. Explosive type is unknown at this time and is being exploited. 4x LNs were WIA: all children: 3x male, 1x female (1x chest wound; 1x with injury to left shoulder; 1x injury to right underarm; 1x with injuries to face and lower extremities). 3x of the LNs were taken to a local hospital, 1x was taken to Salerno for treatment at the CSH.
