US troops injured in 'suicide bombing' at Kabul airport - reports

Our chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay says he understands the explosion took place in a sewage canal outside the airport, where thousands have gathered in a bid to board flights since the Taliban takeover on 15 August.

Ramsay - who was until recently on the ground in Kabul - says this event could mark the end of the airlift from Afghanistan.

The journalist added it is understood that American soldiers were injured in the blast, which US officials believe was an attack by a suicide bomber. He said: "From our understanding it was a suicide bomb attack in a canal way that has featured in our reports where thousands have waited.

"We believe a suicide bomber blew himself up in the canal."

The Biden admin is packed with communists. Communists do not care about human life.

Probably intended to send a message to Biden to do what they tell him to do.

Are they trying to make it sound like it’s not so bad if it’s a “suicide bombing” instead of a group-planned attack? Is it possible for the media to get any lower than they are already?

Wait until they order Biden to release all of the 9/11 terrorists from Guantanamo in time for the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Damn...Trump had the Troops reduced to 2500 and there was not a single event since the agreement. And he also told them there would be hell to pay if they broke it.

“in a sewage canal outside the airport, where thousands have gathered “

Thousands gathered at the airport, or thousands gathered in the sewage canal?
