FOB Chapman is a military base located at the site of a former Afghan army installation that is currently being used by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. One of the main CIA tasks was to provide information for drone attacks against targets in Pakistan. 7 CIA operatives, including the chief of the base and an officer of Jordan's General Intelligence Directorate were killed, 6 others were seriously wounded when the attacker detonated a bomb he was carrying. The bombing was the most lethal attack against the CIA in more than 25 years.
