Two suicide bombers and gunman attacked crowds of Afghans trying to flee the country in Kabul’s airport on Thursday, killing 13 U.S. troops, officials said. Eighteen service members were wounded, and officials said that number could grow. More than 140 Afghans were wounded, an Afghan official said. In an impassioned speech on Thursday, President Joe Biden said these deaths would not drive the U.S. out of Afghanistan earlier than scheduled, and he has instructed the U.S. military to develop plans to strike IS. “We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Biden said.
