#1 Is there any accurate reporting as what happened at Abbey Gate? I listened to two Gold Star parents who lost their sons at the AG bombing. They spoke of details I was unaware of. For instance, one father spoke of a firefight prior to the bomb blast.

#2 I too read some reports of a "complex attack" (IED accompanied or followed by Small Arms Fire).

My sense is the Taliban gate guards, having been tipped off about an approaching VBIED (Vehicle Borne IED) opened up on the car and everyone else, with light machinegun fire.

I have seen NO reporting of Taliban KIA or wounded relative to the VBIED. Likewise, I have seen NO reporting of the 'cause of death' or cause of injuries of any of the dead or wounded.

Inconvenient truths can oftentimes be found in things not discussed.

#3 Indeed, and perhaps a closer look at the drone strike that supposedly killed 2 ISIS-K leaders whose names nov one knows as well as the family heading to HK Airport. How about that? This is what you get when you team up with the Taliban. Yes, it gets worse.
