..."What we know: The "complex attack" that struck in the sunset of the U.S.' longest war involved an explosion at the Abbey Gate entrance to the airport, the Pentagon said Friday. President Biden blamed ISIS-K for the "vicious attack," and vowed to retaliate.
The Pentagon initially said there was a second blast near the Baron Hotel, but clarified Friday: "We do not believe there was a second explosion at or near the Baron Hotel."
More than a dozen U.S. troops were injured, officials said Thursday. U.S. Central Command announced Thursday evening that a 13th service member died
from wounds suffered from the explosion at Abbey Gate."...
