Sixteen years after terrorists toppled the World Trade Center, the War on Terror continues unabated.
On the 9/11 anniversary on Monday, a suicide attack injured five U.S. soldiers and one soldier of an unidentified country near the Bagram Airfield in western Afghanistan, according to the U.S. Central Command. An unspecified number of Afghan civilians were also wounded in the attack.
