A senior administration official has confirmed that the mastermind behind the deadly August 2021 attack at Kabul International Airport, which claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members and more than 150 Afghans, has been killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The U.S. has intelligence and other sources confirming his death, and the death of the ISIS leader is a major victory for the U.S. and its allies in the fight against terrorism. It is hoped that his death will bring some measure of justice to the families of the victims of the attack.
