Mine field tragedy near Bagram claims Ahmed’s leg
Ahmed, 42, and Mukhdar Shah, 36, drove a fuel tanker from Pakistan to Bagram air base to await Afghan President Karzai. Ahmed stepped into an unmarked mine field and suffered a severe leg injury, leading Shah to brave the field to reach him as U.S. troops and Afghan bystanders watched. Surgeons amputated Ahmed’s lower leg, but officials expect him to survive.
