Attacks at Kabul airport, at least 12 US soldiers dead and dozens of Afghans. at least two explosions, maybe three
Update: the dead are many more: there are twelve deaths among American soldiers, eleven marines and a navy doctor, and about sixty deaths among Afghans. There were at least two bombs, one at the Abbey Gate and another at the Baron Hotel, but there seems to have been a third explosion. Surely, from the statements of General Kenneth McKenzie Jr, a suicide bomber approached the military to enter the airport and exploded before being searched.
Two explosions took place near the airport, one at the entrance door and the second in a nearby hotel. The attack took place in crowds near the airport. The Pentagon confirms the presence of victims. After the suicide bombing there was a shooting in the crowd.
The explosion was recorded at the Karzai airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. The news, relaunched by CNN, was confirmed by the United States. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby confirmed on Twitter " an explosion outside the Kabul airport ". " The death toll is not clear at the moment ", he added, " we will provide further details when we can ". Currently there is talk of 14 dead and over 60 injured, among the people waiting to access the airport, ie unarmed civilians including many injured. There were numerous injuries, some even among the soldiers of the international forces.
This serious attack took place just after firearms had forced the pilot of an Italian C-130 departing to an abrupt evasive maneuver because it was hit by small caliber bullets and under threat of the launch of a ground-to-air missile.
The withdrawal of Western soldiers is not even over and Afghanistan is once again a free land for terrorists. Twenty years have been thrown away and Sharia law has been imposed in its most extreme form with a ban on music, television and cinema. You have returned to the starting box.
