The bomber managed to elude security and reach the base’s gym, said one official, who did not want to be identified because the official was not authorized to speak about the incident.

The official said the attack took place at Forward Operating Base Chapman, which one official described as “not a regular base,” suggesting that it was used by American intelligence agencies. It was unclear exactly where on the base the explosion occurred.
