Next Saturday marks 20 years since the attack that killed nearly 3,000 people and sparked the 20-year-old American conflict in Afghanistan.
The United States withdrew all its troops on August 31 after a month of chaos after the Taliban overthrew the Afghan government. The withdrawal was brought forward to Biden’s original deadline, September 11th.
The Taliban’s acquisition provoked widespread criticism of the president’s decision to withdraw troops at a rapid pace.
Thousands of Afghans, U.S. allies and U.S. citizens flooded the roads to Kabul International Airport to flee the Taliban regime.
The U.S. has evacuated more than 100,000 people from the area, but Afghan partners who helped the U.S. military during the conflict continue.
Near the end of the evacuation effort, a suicide bomber believed to be associated with ISIS-K detonated an explosive that killed 13 members of the U.S. service and more than 100 Afghans.
Biden signed one executive order Friday directing the Justice Department and other agencies to release declassified information about the FBI’s investigation into the attack over the next six months.
The question of documents had been going on for quite some time. The families of some of the victims urged Biden not to attend memorial services that day unless he released the documents.
