The ISIS-K terrorist who carried out a suicide bomb attack in August outside of the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, had reportedly been released from prison just days before the Taliban’s overthrow of the government, according to a U.S. lawmaker.
“U.S. national security officials have now confirmed to me the reports that the Aug. 26 Kabul bomber was a known ISIS-K terrorist that was previously detained at the Bagram prison and was released along with thousands of others just days before the deadly attack,” Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) said in a statement.
