The Pentagon now says there was just one suicide bomber at one of the gates to Kabul airport, not two.

That's as Afghan officials are now putting the death toll in yesterday's attack at 169.

Two British citizens and the child of another Briton died, but it's not clear if they were dual nationals and also Afghan citizens.

Thirteen Americans were also killed in the bombing that U-S President Joe Biden blames on Afghanistan's branch of the Islamic State group.

In its claim of responsibility, I-S posted a purported photo of the bomber, posing with his explosives vest before the attack.
