Dozens of U.S. troops and civilians killed in attack outside Kabul airport
Two explosions outside Kabul’s international airport killed 12 U.S. service members and at least 13 Afghans and wounded dozens more, less than a week before U.S. forces are due to depart.
Among the dead were 11 U.S. Marines and a Navy medic, according to a person familiar with the situation. The Associated Press earlier reported the 12 deaths. In addition to the U.S. troops, at least 13 Afghans were killed and 52 others wounded, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed said by phone.

“Terrorists took their lives at the very moment these troops were trying to save the lives of others,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement on the Americans killed. “We mourn their loss. We will treat their wounds. And we will support their families in what will most assuredly be devastating grief. But we will not be dissuaded from the task at hand.”
