Two suicide bombers and gunmen have targeted crowds of Afghans flocking to Kabul's airport, in the waning days of a massive airlift that has drawn thousands of people seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
An Afghan official says at least 60 Afghans were killed and 143 wounded.
U.S. officials said 12 U.S. service members were killed, including 11 Marines and a Navy medic.
A U.S. official said the complex attack was believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State group.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the two blasts were near an airport entrance and a short distance away by a hotel.
