The Pentagon has said that despite previous reports, it now believes there was only one suicide bomber in Thursday’s Kabul airport attack, with no explosion near the Baron Hotel.
While previous reports said that there were likely two suicide bombers behind the attack at the Hamid Karzai International Airport — one near one of the airport’s gates and another near the Baron Hotel — Army Major General William Taylor told reporters on Friday at a Pentagon press briefing the second explosion at the hotel did not happen.
“I can confirm for you that we do not believe that there was a second explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, that it was one suicide bomber,” he said.
