Abbey Gate bomber was ISIS-K terrorist released from prison by Taliban during Biden’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal

A statement released by the Department of Defense on Monday read, "Ordered by US Army Central Command in September 2023, the results of the two-year supplemental review found that no new information disclosed in public testimony since March 2023 had any material impact on the original investigation's findings. It also confirmed that a lone ISIS-K suicide bomber had carried out the attack."

The ISIS terrorist was released from a prison by the Taliban amid the chaotic withdrawal from the Biden administration.

The press release further claimed that the bombing was not "preventable" on the “tactical level" because ISIS had "multiple suicide bombers available."

An army official on the joint supplemental review team said, "With access to analysis from across the intelligence community, we were able to identify the Abbey Gate person-borne IED bomber as Abdul Rahman al-Logari, an [ISIS-K] member since 2016."

Al-Logari was one of the thousands of ISIS members who were released by the Taliban amid the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led by the Biden administration.

In response to the revelations, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul released a statement on the matter.

“While I’m pleased my investigation forced the Biden administration to reopen their investigation into the Abbey Gate attack that led to the deaths of 13 US servicemembers and the injury of 45, it should not have taken this long to get answers," McCaul said. "In addition, if congressional Democrats had fulfilled their constitutional obligations and conducted oversight of what happened more than two years ago, much of this information could have come to light then and saved years of anguish and speculation for many."

The report further confirmed details that the Taliban was executing citizens outside the airport amid the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"The executions caused mass chaos around the airport as large and desperate crowds of civilians sought to flee, creating a deadly operating environment for US servicemembers at the gates amid significant ISIS-K threats," McCaul added.

13 US Service members were killed during chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and family members of some of the fallen soldiers said that the bombing could have been prevented by the Biden administration. After the bombing, documents showed that the Pentagon knew where ISIS members were located leading up to the attack and one US servicemember said, “Intelligence officers at the Kabul Airport knew that ISIS-K was staging in a hotel 2-3 kilometers west of the airport.”

The revelation confirms the identity of the bomber and may put to rest any doubt that ISIS was not behind the attack.
