US Bagram airbase bomber was ‘an employee’ and ex-Taliban

Fully vetted, no doubt. BBC:

A suicide bomber who killed four people inside the largest US military base in Afghanistan was a former Taliban member working there, the BBC has learned.

Qari Enayatullah joined the peace process in 2008, district governor Haji Abdul Shokor Qudosi told the BBC.

It is not known what job he did at Bagram or how long he had been there. He was among Afghan labourers reporting for duty when he detonated his vest injuring 17 other people.

The Taliban claimed Saturday’s attack.

The suspect’s home was raided and two of his relatives were detained by Afghan security forces as investigations continue.

The attack was a major security breach in one of the best protected places in Afghanistan.
