Two suicide attacks were carried out outside the crowded Kabul airport on Thursday evening. At least 12 United States service members were killed and 15 others were wounded.
According to local reports, the death toll is at least 90 with over 200 wounded. The Islamic State wing known as ‘ISIS-K is believed to be responsible for the attacks.
The first bomb was detonated near the airport’s Abbey Gate and the other near the Baron Hotel. Hours later, witnesses reported a third blast elsewhere in the city.
A video that was sent to us a few moments ago shows a really strange situation! The US military at one of the checkpoints at the Kabul airport side by side with the Taliban moments before the blasts.
The video is filmed with a helmet-mounted camera of one of the American Marines at the Kabul airport, in an area where US forces are responsible for the security.”.

The attack marked one of the single deadliest days for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in the 20 years since the allied invasion.
General McKenzie said U.S. forces are “prepared to take action” against the assailants. “Twenty-four seven, we are looking for them,” he said. McKenzie added that he expects the attacks to continue, and the threat of ongoing attacks remains high.
A Taliban spokesman condemned the “gruesome incident” and said the group “will take every step to bring the culprits to justice.”
As the U.S. rushes to evacuate U.S. citizens and Afghans who helped American troops during the war, as well as those at risk from the Taliban, Mr. Biden has warned that the risk to American and allied forces on the ground was growing with each day that passes.
I’m feeling a type of white rage towards Milley.
Milley must resign.
Milley played football with that tranny/homo Health Department leader from Pennsylvania.
Biden must’ve set up a deal w/taliban dudes before this started, to let them take over.
You might accidentally assume Milley's gender...
There is zero confidence government from rational people and needs to be dissolved but I am afraid to say we are in the minority.
This is so much used food on the part of the Taliban.
I heard today they are beheading westerners in cities and areas away from the cameras.
Revenge says the General safely in Florida, could we possibly find a place further from the action? I know he is new to the job, but God I miss real men! As far as our “Leader” is concerned, well I don’t have the words!
Shaking head.
Milley played football with that tranny/homo Health Department leader from Pennsylvania.
Probably played hide the pickle, too.
“”General McKenzie said U.S. forces are “prepared to take action” against the assailants””
With all due respect, General, the only action to take against the assailants is with a broom and a scoop shovel.
They’re DEAD, Ken
Hear! Hear!
“I heard today they are beheading westerners in cities and areas away from the cameras.”
Sources? Links? What westerners?
They probably played pocket pool together too.
Well, Football is Gay!
here’s a clip from CBS
start 3:30 or so, Afghani describing the Abby Gate canal bombing
It sounds like one suicide bomber was in line in the (sewer canal?) canal area at the paperwork check area but the accent is thick and my ears are getting old. I’d wonder if his description matches the military helmet cam we saw of a guy with a large square backpack on his back:
Football?
Or hide the salami?
Such a tragic story.
One of hundreds, and more to come, I am sure.
Touch footizes....
