Suicide Bomber Kills Dozens at Kabul Airport.

[Mike]

It was announced in the evening news here, that a suicide
bomber, or maybe two bombers killed many people, the
dead included USA Troops checking Papers!

ISS are suspected, Taliban fighters were on the top of the
freight containers that are being used as a barrier to stop
those without paper getting in the queue.

According to the update, it was a fairly young person. They are despicable cowards brainwashing the younger generation. Isis must have a very poor opinion of themselves and particularly low esteem to have to 'go after' women and children to subjugate.

I don't think that there are any "Old" people in ISIS, they
are all in their teens and twenties.

This is all rather stale news.

There was a suicide bomber at the Abby Gate and the explosion killed a lot of civilians. Then there was a firefight between US soldiers guarding the gate and some members of IS-K, a group that is a spin off from the Taliban. IS-K and the Taliban are enemies. Finally, another suicide bomber exploded his vest in a hotel where people were waiting to be bussed to the airport.

Since then President Biden has vowed retribution without mercy and an over the horizon drone strike has taken out a vehicle not too far from the border with Pakistan. They believe they killed a planner for the airport attacks and another person.

13 US military personnel were killed and more were injured. Civilian asualties have not been announced as far as I can tell. Most are just body parts.

What happens next is anyone's guess.

Did anyone else see the pictures of the aftermath? What a bloody mess. If you had the opportunity to watch a suicide bomber implode himself, would you? I may consider watching.
