The suicide bombing at the Kabul airport that killed U.S. troops and Afghans in August 2021 was not preventable, according to a new review by U.S. Central Command.
The findings, released Monday, clarified that a “bald man in black” spotted by U.S. service members the morning of the attack was not the bomber and refuted the assertions by some service members who believed they had a chance to take out the would-be bomber but did not get approval.
