US Military Expands Interviews with Kabul Airport Bombing Witnesses

The US military will conduct additional interviews with witnesses of the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, which killed 13 US service members during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. The interviews are part of an internal review ordered by the commander of US Central Command to ensure all relevant voices are heard and new information is examined thoroughly. While this does not constitute a formal reopening of the investigation, it is an effort to address the dissatisfaction expressed by the families of the victims. The interviews will seek to capture personal accounts and determine if any new information would affect the results of the original investigation.
