Multiple Marines have been killed in several blasts at Kabul airport.
(AP) Two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted crowds massing near the Kabul airport Thursday, in the waning days of a massive airlift that has drawn thousands of people seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, Russian officials said.
A U.S. official said the complex attack was “definitely believed” to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who hold an even more extreme view of Islam.
The U.S. official said several U.S. Marines were killed in the blast, and a number of U.S. military members wounded. Both The Wall Street Journal and Fox News are currently reporting that four Marines were killed and three were wounded.
