Insurgent buses?


Last night I was waiting to pass through a checkpoint with a colleague while coming back from dinner and we were waiting for a bus full of foreign nationals to be cleared by security. Suddenly several quick explosions go off and our vehicle is engulfed in a cloud of dust and smoke. IED? Mortar round? Nope. The bus was back-firing. It surely managed to wake us up, though.

The picture above is one of the many pallets of water bottles that are situated throughout the base that are available for us to pick up and put in our office refrigerators for some nice cool refreshment during the day.
