This afternoon.
Via CNN:
An explosion was reported outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday, according to two US officials.
The blast happened at one of the entry gates of the airport and appears to be a suicide attack, according to three US officials. Crowds of Afghans have been gathering at the gates trying to gain access to the airport. One official said there are injuries among Afghans, but there is no information yet on any US casualties.
Update: An official has told Reuters that US Service members are among those injured in the blast, according to initial information.
Update: At least 13 people dead , including children, and wounded many Taliban guards, a Taliban official told Reuters.
More as we get it.
Hey Bodger what gives?
Where’s the add-on tweet from some redneck saying that the bomber got jabbed recently?
2 blasts now – one at a hotel just outside
Those poor people, it’s a really desperate situation, the UK and the US have really let those who helped them down.
Well done Sleepy Joe. You are doing your country proud. NOT.
ISIS, presumably. This is going to get ugly. Uglier.
I am confused- is this some splinter group like the Continuity Taliban or the Real Taliban or something?

Nope, more than likely ISIS K, bitter enemies of the Taliban, they make the Taliban look moderate that crowd!
according to my read of what Coveney just spilled on R1….
– they managed to get 26 out
– but there’s a further 75 (60 Irish + 15 Afghans w/Irish residency who are on hollier visits etc.) still trapped out there
anyone?
That explosion is not in Kabul – it is from a military base in Kazakh.
