Late on Friday, Afghan insurgents raided Camp Bastion while wearing U.S. Army uniforms. The fighters, who were well-trained and well-rehearsed ended up killing two U.S Marines and destroying six jets. Eight coallition military personnell and one civillian contracor were wounded in the attack. Armed with suicide vests, automatic rifles, and rocket-propelled grenade launchers the fifteen insurgents separated into three groups and destroyed six fueling stations and damaged six aircraft hangars. This is not the first time U.S uniforms were used in attacks, similar incidents occurred in 2005, 2007, and 2010. Where they got the uniforms has not been confirmed, but it is rumored that U.S uniforms are being sold at markets in Afghanistan.
