At least 13 American service members were also killed in the attack that occurred on August 26 amid the chaotic evacuation of American citizens and their Afghan allies.
Addressing the reporters on Friday, US Marine General Frank McKenzie, head of US Central Command, said the bomb sent 5mm ball bearings ripping through a packed crowd at the airport’s Abbey Gate.
According to him, the investigation found no definitive proof of any gunfire.
“I want to acknowledge that the investigation differs from what we initially believed on the day of the attack,” McKenzie said.
