Remembering Abbey Gate
On August 26, 2021, a suicide bombing at Abbey Gate outside Kabul’s airport killed 13 U.S. service members and nearly 200 Afghan civilians. The attacker, linked to ISIS-K, struck during the final days of the U.S. withdrawal, making it the deadliest day for American forces in over a decade.
