More than 100 people are dead - including 13 American military personnel and dozens of Afghan civilians - after two suicide bomb attacks at the Hamid Karzai international airport in Kabul.
The militant group ISIS-K has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which come as the US conducts evacuation flights in preparation to completely end its military presence there after twenty years.
