Twin suicide bombings in Kabul leaves 90 dead, 150 injured

The twin suicide bombings at Hamid Karzai airport in Kabul on Thursday killed at least 90 people, including 13 American soldiers, and left more than 150 injured. The Islamic State (IS) affiliated terrorist group, ISIS-Khorasan, has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The twin blast occurred when Afghans were trying to enter the American-controlled facility, where the US-led evacuation effort was taking place, the Pentagon said.

According to officials, a suicide bomb attack at the Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate was followed by an assault by gunmen. Soon after another bomb blast took place at a nearby hotel outside the airport.
