Type of bomb?

[edit]

Why is there no information on the type of bomb used? Google search came up with nothing which seems strange. As far as I am aware this is the deadliest suicide bombing in human history committed by a single person, but there is very little information about it.

AFAIK, such details never emerged, largely due to the chaotic circumstances surrounding the event. Pincrete (talk) 06:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Several novels have been published following the dramatic US evacuation from the country. Those titles include: "Life and Death at Abbey Gate", "Saving Aziz", "Always Faithful", and "Kabul".[1] AfghanistanEducation (talk) 18:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: see WP:PRIMARY, need some reason to believe these books are notable Cannolis (talk) 18:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

British involvement

[edit]

Shouldn’t the list of defenders include British troops who were reportedly (according to cnn) at the scene of the attack? Lucycobra (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Evacuation?

[edit]

This was not n evacuation, it was a withdrawal out of the country, and a catastrophic one at that. Let's add some context, this wasnt just an attack...nor was it anywhere close to an evacuation. 99.192.109.101 (talk) 14:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

America/US and UK troops withdrew from Afghanistan, the Afghan civilians who had aided them, or who for other reasons were in danger, were evacuated (ie were moved to a place of greater safety). It wouldn't make much sense to say Afghan civilians withdrew from their own country! Pincrete (talk) 06:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
