US Strikes Suspected VBIED Near Kabul Airport
Published 3 years ago
US Central Command (CENTCOM) acknowledged an "over-the-horizon" drone strike on a vehicle that was suspected of being a, ISKP vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) destined for the Kabul airport.
CENTCOM claimed confidence in the strike was a secondary explosion (the detonation of the explosive device) was observed as a result of the strike. The report further indicated that they had no indications of civilian casualties, although unconfirmed local reports claimed a child was killed or injured.
Taliban spokesman Zabihulla confirmed the US strike, suggesting that the strike was a coordinated effort between CENTCOM and the Biden administration's partner force, the Taliban terror group. It's apparent that CENTCOM has an interoperability and intelligence sharing relationship with the Taliban, but no firings or resignations have taken place for those complicit.
