Aug 26, 20210:58Now PlayingGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel called the suicide attacks outside Kabul airport on Thursday "horrendous."
Two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul's airport Thursday, transforming a scene of desperation into one of horror in the waning days of an airlift for those fleeing the Taliban takeover.
At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, Russian officials said.
"The terrorists were targeting people waiting outside the airport gates hoping to leave. They want security and freedom for themselves and therefore this is an absolutely despicable attack in a very, very tense situation and I think in these minutes of the victims and their families," said Merkel, speaking at a news conference in Berlin.
