Afghanistan, in August 2021 that killed 13 US troops and as many as 170 civilians, four senior American officials said Tuesday.
The US officials said that US intelligence analysts became aware in early April that the mastermind of the attack, whom they declined to identify, had died in a Taliban operation in Afghanistan. It was unclear whether the Taliban were specifically targeting the insurgent or if he was killed in one of the increasing number of attacks between Taliban and Islamic State fighters, the officials said.
Officials were also sparing with the details they were willing to share with the families of the killed service members. The 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan and its aftermath continue to be a subject of heated debate on Capitol Hill, where Republicans have voiced similar demands of the Biden administration.
