 "Kabul airport blast")
Two explosions outside Kabul’s international airport caused an unknown number of casualties and deaths less than a week before US forces are due to depart.
“A number of US & civilian casualties” were caused by one blast outside the Abbey Gate used by people seeking to flee Afghanistan, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.
He called it a “complex attack” and it came after US and Nato officials warned their citizens to avoid heading toward the airport. Reports said at least 13 people were killed, citing a Taliban security official, and that Taliban guards were wounded in the blasts.
