KABUL TERROR : ISIS has claimed responsibility for the
Kabul airport suicide bomb attacks which killed at least
60 people today.
Twelve US troops are among 60 people killed and 140
injured in the attacks.
The terror group released a picture of one of the suicide
bombers, identified as Abdul Rehman Al-Loghri.
Two explosions rocked the airport in Afghanistan just
hours before the evacuation deadline.
Thousands of people have gathered at the airport over the
past 12 days hoping to be evacuated after the Taliban
seized power.
A senior Afghan health official told the BBC that at least
60 people had been killed and 140 others hurt.
At least 12 US service members were killed in the
bombings, including 11 Marines and one Navy medic,
while 15 were injured, the Pentagon said.
Other blasts were heard in Kabul hours after the earlier
two.
A US official confirmed the first blast was caused by a
suicide bomb, with initial reports suggesting the second
explosion was a car bomb.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said one explosion
occurred near buses lined up outside Abbey Gate and the
other close to the nearby Baron Hotel.
