Supreme Court rules 6-3 that wounded veteran can sue contractor Fluor Corporation over 2016 Bagram suicide bombing
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Wednesday to allow former Army Spc. Winston Hencely to sue Fluor Corporation for a 2016 suicide bombing at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. Hencely was wounded when an Afghan employee of Fluor detonated an explosive vest, killing five people and injuring more than a dozen. The court held that contractor immunity does not apply when a company allegedly fails to fulfill its supervisory duties.
