A former Navy SEAL was among seven Americans killed in a suicide bombing attack targeting a CIA base in southeastern Afghanistan last week, a memorial page on Facebook said.

Former Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Jeremy Jason Wise, 35, lived in Virginia Beach, Va., with his wife, Dana. He was working as security contractor after leaving the Navy in 2009. He enlisted Sept. 28, 2001.

A funeral for Wise is expected to be held in the coming days.

Wise’s home phone number was not listed. The family declined through an e-mail to release any photos to The Associated Press or to comment further Sunday.

The CIA is not releasing information about the victims, citing the sensitivity of their mission and other ongoing operations. The agency is trying to sort out what happened.

Many questions remain as to how the suicide bomber managed to get inside the outpost armed with explosives and why he was exposed to so many agency officers, including the chief of the CIA base who died in the attack, a woman with three children.

The bombing occurred at a former military base on the edge of Khost city, the capital of Khost province, which borders Pakistan and is a Taliban stronghold.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility.
