During the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021, new information emerged about the fatal attack at the Kabul airport. The attack, planned by ISIS-linked terrorists, killed more than 170 Afghan citizens and 13 American soldiers.
Abdul Rahman Logari, a well-known member of ISIS, was previously detained in Afghanistan, but was reportedly released by the Taliban after being extradited from the United States. The information comes from a US military report, as reported by NBC News.
The attack comes amid chaos as thousands of Afghan civilians try to flee the country after the Taliban took control in August 2021. Terrorists targeted Kabul airport in an attempt to disrupt evacuation efforts.
Shortly after the attack, ISIS-K claimed responsibility. Logari was one of the terrorists released from an Afghan prison by the Taliban.
The revelations highlight the challenges of the Taliban’s actions and the release of known terrorists, and the challenges facing the retreat and beyond.
