2 Americans killed in attack on Camp Bastion/Leatherneck

Two U.S. members of the NATO force in Southern Afghanistan were killed and several others were wounded Friday night in a complex attack on the U.S. Marine half of Camp Bastion/Leatherneck—the same camp where Britain’s Prince Harry is based — U.S. and NATO officials told NBC News.

The Taliban launched what it called the “Harry Operations” on Monday, threatening to do everything in its power to kill Prince Harry, 27, who is third in line to the British throne, after British forces announced his four-month deployment to Camp Bastion.

Apart from the significance of the prince’s being based there, the attack is notable as the worst yet on Camp Bastion/Leatherneck.
