Suicide Bombing In Afghanistan - At Least 10 US Servicemembers Killed

We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties. We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate. We will continue to update.

At least 10 U.S. servicemembers, some Marines and some U.S. soldiers, were killed in the suicide bombing outside the Abbey Gate at the airport in Kabul. Dozens were wounded.

This is absolutely devastating.

Cowards kill innocent people, and coward leaders give them the opportunity. National disgrace, global tragedy.
