Pentagon officials were aware of a potential “mass casualty” attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan and attempted to prepare for such an attack hours before two suicide bombers detonated, Politico reported Monday. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly instructed U.S. forces on the ground in Kabul to prepare for an “imminent” mass casualty attack roughly 24 hours before the suicide bombing occurred, according to Politico. The airport’s Abbey Gate represented the greatest vulnerability as it was where the Pentagon and State Department had instructed U.S.
