The Supreme Court ruled that a wounded U.S. soldier may sue a contractor over a 2016 suicide bombing at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
The decision sends the case back to lower courts and rejects a broad legal shield for contractors performing wartime work.
The plaintiff, identified in filings as former Army Specialist Winston Tyler Hencely, was among those injured in the attack.
