Kabul Airport Attack Official Report Questioned

Kabul Airport VBIED Attack

The Pentagon investigation into the 26 August 2021 attack outside Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate that killed Americans and Afghans was caused by a single bomber who detonated a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED). General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., Commander, US Central Command, said that it was not a “complex attack”.

The General stated that their investigation found that a single explosive device resulted in the death of 170 Afghans and 13 US Service members by “explosively directing ball bearings”.

Further, he stated that the investigation found no evidence that any Americans or Afghans were hit or killed by gunfire. He stated the VBIED ball bearings caused wounds that resembled those caused by gunshots.

Statements from those on the ground differ.

Was There a Firefight After the Suicide Bombing at Kabul Airport?

Daniel Greenfield

The official narrative is that an ISIS-K suicide bomber got through Taliban “security” and detonated, resulting in the deaths of 13 U.S. military personnel and a number of Afghans. Yet what the people on the ground keep saying is that there was a firefight afterward.

Why it matters.

If there was a firefight, then there was a significant terrorist presence at HKIA and the narrative that the Taliban were providing security falls apart.

The Biden admin and its brass claimed to have partnered with the Taliban, and claimed that the terrorists could be trusted. They have every incentive to cover up evidence that a sizable terrorist contingent was actually on the scene.

So what really happened that day?

For Chappell and some of the other families of those killed that day, the release this month of a U.S. military investigation examining the attack has caused them to question whether Defense Department officials distorted its findings. In interviews, they castigated the Biden administration for placing their loved ones — most, like Nikoui, barely 20 years old — into such a dangerous situation and said that the Marines who survived the explosion told them they endured a firefight afterward — claims the Pentagon has dismissed.

This is a core issue here. Why would military personnel lie about being in a firefight? What possible motive could there be? We know why Biden’s people would be motivated to lie about their decision to trust the Taliban.

Another report PINO Joe will doubtless reject. The endless abject failures of the current administration are breathtaking. Thanks, Poe.
