Thirteen American service members and at least 60 Afghan civilians were killed as a result of 2 suicide bombers attacking the crowd outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Thursday. From the New York Times:
The bombs were set off near a crowd of families at the airport gates who were desperately hoping to make one of the last evacuation flights out. Gunfire was reported in the aftermath of the explosions.
The Islamic State (Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K) released a statement claiming responsibility for the attack.
“We’re outraged as well as heartbroken,” President Biden said from the East Room of the White House, where he vowed to continue evacuating Americans from Kabul and retaliate against those responsible for the attack.
“Know this: We will not forgive, we will not forget,” he said. “We will hunt you down and make you pay.”
