2023-04-26
[NY Post] "Cool now? Give us money"
A Taliban-led operation has taken out the ISIS terrorist responsible for killing 13 American service members during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to multiple reports.

The deadly suicide bombing, which also killed upwards of 170 Afghan civilians, took place outside Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Aug. 26, 2021.

US officials told Fox News on Monday that the terrorist mastermind who directed the attack "has been killed in a Taliban operation" and that the Biden administration had "recently become aware" of the ISIS-K operative.
