Escaped detainees targeted MV-22 carrying 3-star with RPG

A MV-22 carrying Vice Adm. Robert Hardward from a detention facility in Afghanistan was nearly hit by a RPG aimed by two escape detainees.

The incident occurred on Aug. 7 last year at headquarters of 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province.

Luckily the two were discovered and a firefight broke out which resulted in the deaths of two Marines and a contractor.
