President Joe Biden released a statement on the two-year anniversary of a terrorist attack on U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan during their withdrawal from the country, according to a White House press release.
On Aug. 26, 2021, 13 American servicemembers were killed when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest outside Kabul International Airport, which was the hub for evacuating Americans, allied nationals and eligible Afghans. Biden, who was widely criticized at the time for his decision making in the midst of the withdrawal, released a statement on Saturday commemorating the fallen, according to a White House press release.
“Today, Jill and I remember and mourn these 13 brave American service members and the more than 100 innocent Afghan civilians who were killed in the horrific terrorist attack at Abbey Gate,” the press release stated. “Many more were injured and will carry the impacts of their wounds and the horrors of that day for the rest of their lives.”
