Abbey Gate Attack: Fifth Anniversary Marked

Department of State

Today marks five years since the horrific attack at Kabul Airport's Abbey Gate, a tragedy that resulted in the deaths of 13 American heroes and over 160 Afghan civilians.

We stand with the Gold Star families whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great country. Our prayers will forever remain with them and the 45 U.S. service members who were injured during this terrible terrorist attack.

The Biden Administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan remains a dark stain on our nation's history. The Trump Administration remains dedicated to honoring the memory of those who lost their lives at Abbey Gate - and during the country's 20 years in Afghanistan - and providing the American people with the answers they deserve.
