CENTCOM Commander Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr. briefed reporters on today’s suicide bombing attacks outside Hamid Karzai International Airport: "It's a hard day today. As you know, two suicide bombers, assessed to have been ISIS fighters, detonated...At this time, we know that 12 U.S. service members have been killed in the attack and 15 more service members have been injured."
Gen. McKenzie: "Right now, our focus is actually going forward ensuring that another attack of this nature does not occur, because, as you know, typically the pattern is multiple attacks."
Gen. McKenzie: "Any time you build a non-combatant evacuation plan like this, and you bring in forces, you expect to be attacked. So, we expected, we thought this would happen sooner or later. It's tragic that it happened today."
