The United States government had no involvement in the Taliban operation that led to the death of a terrorist leader who masterminded the August 2021 bombing which killed 13 US soldiers at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, the White House has said.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby on Wednesday said the US became aware of the operation through the “over-the-horizon capabilities” which administration officials have cited as reason to not need an American military presence in Afghanistan to deal with terrorist threats.
