ISIS-K suicide bomber who killed 13 US troops in Kabul airport blast was ‘freed from jail by the Taliban days earlier’
TALIBAN jihadis released an ISIS-K suicide bomber from jail days before he blew himself up at Kabul airport and slaughtered at least 170 people including 13 American troops.
Two US officials reportedly said the mass murderer was released from the Parwan prison at Bagram airbase after American forces abandoned it the month before.
On August 27, two ISIS-K suicide bombers struck at the Abbey Gate, where desperate Afghans were crowding to try to enter the airport and where US troops were carrying out security checks.
The revelation made to that one of them had been released from jail underscores the chaos around the final days of the shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The Parwan prison at Bagram, along with the Pul-e-Charkhi prison near Kabul, housed several hundred ISIS-K terrorists.
The Taliban emptied out both prisons.
Eleven days later one of the inmates carried out the suicide bombing at Abbey Gate.
It comes after it emerged that a US drone strike killed an ISIS-K fanatic who was allegedly a planner in a suicide bombing atrocity at Kabul airport, the Pentagon has revealed.
Kabir Aidi aka Mustafa was said to be directly connected to the terror attack that slaughtered at least 170 people including 13 American troops.
The Pentagon says Aidi was killed by a US Reaper drone attack in the Nangarhar Province, Fox News' reported.
And just a day after the bloodbath, a Reaper drone attack took place in the Nangahar province of east Afghanistan — home to most of the 2,000 ISIS-K militants that took responsibility for the mass murder.
A missile was fired at a car Aidi was in, killing him and an associate.
