WASHINGTON — A deadly attack on a U.S. outpost in eastern Afghanistan in July was executed with the support of some local police and government leaders as well as villagers there, according to an internal military report.
The report, released Tuesday, recommended the district’s Afghan police chief and governor be replaced, if not arrested and tried for committing crimes against the government. Nine U.S. troops were killed in the attack, which was launched just before midnight on July 12 by about 200 insurgents. Twenty-seven other U.S. troops were wounded.
