A single suicide bomber carried out the deadly Aug. 26 attack in Afghanistan at the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, the Pentagon confirmed on Friday.

The U.S. Department of Defense said in initial statements that the attack, which killed 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans, involved two bombers—one attack at the airport and a second at a nearby Baron hotel.
