At least 13 U.S. service members killed in Kabul airport attack

President Biden vowed to “hunt” down the terrorists who attacked Kabul’s airport that killed at least 13 U.S. service members and more than 60 Afghans. The President said the U.S. will “respond with force and precision” to the deadly attack. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Anderson Cooper it will be difficult to hunt down the terrorists responsible since there are less troops on the ground which means less intelligence. Plus, Matthieu Aikins is a journalist for The New York Times and lives in Kabul. He was at the scene of the attack less than an hour after it happened and joins AC360 to describe the chaotic scene.
