House Republicans are demanding answers from the Pentagon months after the terrorist attack at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021 that killed 13 U.S. troops and at least 169 Afghan civilians.
It comes after a former Marine who survived the Aug. 26, 2021 bombings testified to Congress in March that he was told not to fire at the suspected suicide bomber on the day, prior to the attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
