The Supreme Court is clearing the way for a veteran wounded by a suicide bomb in Afghanistan to sue the government contractor for whom the attacker was working when he built the explosive. The court ruled Wednesday in the case of a former Army specialist, Winston Hencely. He was wounded in a 2016 explosion at Bagram Airfield that killed five people. Hencely sued after an Army investigation faulted the company’s failure to supervise an Afghan employee who built the vest on the job site inside the base. Wednesday's ruling reverses lower courts that found the company was immune because it was working during wartime for the federal government.
