Trial begins in Kabul airport bombing that killed 13 U.S. troops


The 13 U.S. troops killed at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate in August 2021 were there to help save lives.

It had been four months since then-President Joe Biden ordered the Pentagon to plan for a complete withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, and 11 days since Kabul had fallen to the Taliban — a devastating blow to the 20-year U.S. war effort. American troops were helping evacuate tens of thousands of locals, many of whom had been U.S. allies during the war.
