The death toll includes 11 Marines and one Navy medic, with more wounded; though officials warn that the numbers may grow.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul’s airport Thursday, transforming a scene of desperation into one of horror in the waning days of an airlift for those fleeing the Taliban takeover.
At least 12 U.S. service members were killed in the Afghanistan bombings, including 11 Marines and one Navy medic, according to two U.S. officials. Officials say a number of US military troops were wounded. They warn, however, that the numbers may grow.
“We can confirm that a number of U.S. service members were killed in today’s complex attack at Kabul airport. A number of others are being treated for wounds. We also know that a number of Afghans fell victim to this heinous attack,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and injured,” he said.
.......officials warn that the numbers may grow......................
Stolen elections have consequences.
And every RINO-controlled state legislature who gave the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID now has an equal portion of blood on their hands. They put their petty hatred of Trump before their country. Damn them all to hell.
This is awful and this briefing makes it even worse.
New name for the disaster in chief: “Way To Go Joe!”
The blame goes to
biden
the democrat party
the power behind the democrat party
the anal exit apertures who voted democrat.
The first report was 3 wounded... Then 4 dead...then 11.. not good.
Now at 12...
Anyone else hearing there was a 3rd explosion.
Who is this retaed general they got speaking?
He’s like “all is well, 12 soldiers dead, just another day at war, ho-hum”
McKenzie
“The system is not perfect.”
Resign
And a 4th.......................
Jogadishu
So who exactly arranged this bombing?
You're leaving out the RINO-controlled state legislatures who gave the Steal to Potato Joe. If if everyone in these legislatures with an (R) after their name had been a constitutional conservative patriot, the massive fraud would have been exposed before electors were seated and Potato Joe would not be president and the Senate would not now be controlled by Democrats. They got away with the Steal because RINOs who hated Trump allowed them to.
The first order of business should the republicans take house next year is the impeachment of Joe Biden, assuming he’s still around.
My guess is that he detonated next to the Marines. Other during the firefight.
“The system is not perfect.”
A snafu... a glitch...
And 15 wounded.
The towleyban did it and blamed it on ISIS.
