JAKARTA - The bodies of a US military member who died in a suicide bombing attack during the evacuation of civilians from Kabul airport last week, arrived in the US, Sunday, August 29. United States President Joe Biden welcomed him at Dover Air Force Base to honor the victims.
An ISIS suicide bombing outside Kabul airport on Thursday killed dozens of Afghans and 13 American soldiers.
Biden is expected to receive the bodies of members of the military who were flown back to the United States. Families of the troops are also expected to attend.
Thursday's attack, acknowledged by ISIS-Khorasan, the Afghan affiliate of ISIS, was the deadliest incident for US servicemen in Afghanistan in a decade.
The bombing took place just outside the airport gates, where thousands have gathered to try to escape since the Taliban returned to power on August 15.
The Taliban's rapid advance across the country amid the withdrawal of American and allied troops, and the chaotic scene at the airport have presented Biden with his biggest foreign policy challenge to date.
Biden has vowed to punish those responsible for the airport bombing. The US military said Saturday it had killed two ISIS-Khorasan militants in a drone strike in Afghanistan.
