The Islamic State group mastermind thought to have planned the 2021 bombing at Kabul airport has been killed by Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban, US officials say.
The bombing killed 170 civilians and 13 US soldiers while people were trying to flee the country as the Taliban took control.
The IS figure was killed weeks ago but it took time to confirm his death, US officials told BBC news partner CBS. They did not reveal his name.
