>"Two explosions ripped through crowds, followed by a gun assault, at Kabul airport, where the U.S. military is attempting to evacuate thousands."

"12 U.S. service members and 60 Afghans were killed and many others wounded in today's violent terrorist attacks. Absolutely devastating, heartbreaking and infuriating. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones today"

A suicide bomb attack at the airport’s Abbey Gate was followed by an assault by gunmen, officials said. Another bomb attack took place nearby, at a hotel outside the airport, officials said. Eighteen U.S. service members were injured, the Pentagon said.
