WASHINGTON – The Pentagon's months-long investigation into the ISIS-K terror attack in Kabul in August that killed 13 U.S. troops and at least 170 Afghans found that a single suicide bomber whose explosive vest was packed with ball bearings was responsible for the carnage. The suicide bomber killed the Afghans who had clustered near one of the entrances to Hamid Karzai International Airport and the U.S. troops screening them. "The best information we had in the immediate aftermath of the attack indicated it was a complex attack by both a suicide bomber and an ISIS-K gunman," McKenzie said. U.S. troops cooperated with Taliban militants who helped screen throngs of people streaming to the airport. On Aug. 29, three days after the airport attack, U.S. forces launched a drone attack near the airport that killed 10 innocent Afghans.
