On Tuesday, U.S. officers confirmed that earlier this month the Taliban killed the Islamic State chief who ordered the suicide bombing on the Kabul airport that killed 13 U.S. army members, 170 Afghan civilians and injured many extra.
The Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISIS-Okay group, claimed credit score for the bombing on the airport and recognized the suicide bomber as Abdul Rahman Al-Logari, per The New York Occasions. ISIS-Okay and the Taliban have been combating for energy ever since the US withdrew from the nation in 2021.
Workers Sgt. Taylor Hoover from Utah was one of many U.S. army members killed in Afghanistan through the bombing on Aug. 26, 2021, when the US started evacuating U.S. residents and asylum-seekers from the nation.
The Marine’s father, Darin Hoover, and the opposite members of the family of these killed obtained a telephone name from U.S. officers over the weekend who stated the ISIS-Okay chief chargeable for ordering the assault was useless, reported The New York Occasions.
“They couldn’t give me his title; they couldn’t inform me the main points of the operation,” Hoover advised the Occasions, which he stated left him feeling “annoyed, once more.” He stated that he desires the federal government to take duty and say, “we screwed up.”
“No matter occurs, it’s not going to carry Taylor again and I perceive that,” Hoover advised The Related Press. “About the one factor his mother and I can do now could be be an advocate for him. All we would like is the reality. And we’re not getting it. That’s the irritating half.”
The administration stated it fulfilled its “ethical duty” to advise the households of the victims that the “individual most chargeable for the airport assault” was useless, per AP.
Whereas U.S. officers have declined to offer many particular particulars concerning the demise of the ISIS-Okay chief, they confirmed in a press release late Tuesday by Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder that the Taliban killed the ISIS chief and that the “United States was not concerned,” reported AP.
