Hencely v. Fluor Corp. · ¶7

Hencely, a former Army specialist, was seriously injured in a Taliban suicide attack on Veteran's Day 2016 at Bagram Airfield, then the largest U. S. base in Afghanistan. Hencely saw the perpetrator, Taliban operative Ahmad Nayeb, as Nayeb was walking toward a Veteran's Day 5K race. When Hencely attempted to question him, Nayeb detonated his suicide vest. The explosion killed 5 and wounded 17. Hencely, then just 20 years old, suffered a fractured skull and brain injuries. The Army concluded that Hencely's intervention “likely prevent[ed] a far greater tragedy.” App. to Pet. for Cert. 156.
