CIA base in Kabul blown up by US forces: Report


quote:

U.S. forces reportedly destroyed the final CIA outpost in Afghanistan outside Kabul's airport on Thursday, where evacuations are underway until the end of the month.

A controlled detonation was used to blow up Eagle Base, where counterterrorism forces of Afghanistan’s intelligence agencies were trained, resulting in an explosion heard throughout Kabul just hours after a deadly suicide blast outside the airport, U.S. officials told the New York Times.

Rest In Peace, Johanny Rosario.

Sgt. Rosario was a Marine from Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Looks like we may have carried out some airstrikes tonight in Anbar Province Iraq, as well.

I'm assuming those were unrelated to the bombing in Kabul, and had more to do with the three missiles fired into one of our Iraq bases on the Kuwait border earlier today.

Nope. Still in Kabul or at least Afghanistan. He and his team will likely be the last out.

Suicide bomber that attacked Kabul airport was carrying about 25 pounds of explosives including additional items to create a larger and more lethal shrapnel radius. Intelligence pointing towards more additional suicide bombing attacks by ISIS-K soon per CBS and Fox.

Joe Biden, his administration and every person who voted for him are as guilty of killing those brave young men and women as the ones who set off the bomb. Left wingers are soulless, wretched miserable people

If true, it's pretty sad that they have been put in a position to have to do this. Running something like this privately will not be cheap.
