| The Pentagon said the United States had pulled out the last of its troops and the evacuation operation at Kabul's international airport had ended. The departure caps a chaotic withdrawal that was rushed by the Taliban's rapid takeover of the country and scarred by a deadly suicide attack that killed 13 U.S. service members and scores of Afghans. More than 120,000 people had been evacuated since Aug. 14, amounting to one of the largest airlifts in history, but the deteriorating security situation and chaos at the airport resulted in some Americans and thousands of Afghan allies being left behind. |
