In one of the U.S. military base located in Afghanistan, there was an explosion. The explosion happened around the security gate on the base of Bagram. At that same time, the Vice President Dick Cheney was visiting the same base and was there when the explosion occurred. The chief of the base, Major William Mitchell said that the explosion was not created to harm the Vice President because he wasn’t near it when it happened. The Vice President was in the moment of the explosion well within the base and in a safe area. Unfortunately not everyone escaped safety as 19 people were killed after the blast. “20-30 people were either killed or wounded,” said a shopkeeper of a market outside the base. Cheney after spending the night in the base left at 10am to the States. Military officials declared a red alert in the base after the explosion, and the wounded people were taken inside the base to be treated. Because the explosion was so big that created a plume of smoke that was seen by people in the base including Cheney, the base will have to increase its security outside the base. “Cheney is fine”, said a spokeswoman, but we all can imagine how scary a blast like that would’ve been.
