We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties. We can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, a short distance from Abbey Gate. We will continue to update.

If you want to know what actual US intentions are, always check the CIA press releases that appear as 'helpful reader guides' in American media. ISIS-K is just another US diversion. https://t.co/JmNtDQLrA2
