The Taliban was unaware it killed the alleged planner of the Kabul airport bombing that left 13 Americans dead, a U.S. official says.
ABC News spoke to a U.S. official with knowledge of the matter to get more answers Wednesday morning.While officials, such as White House spokesman John Kirby and Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, have publicly stated the U.S. had no role in the Taliban operation that they say killed the ISIS-K leader, it was unclear whether the U.S. could have played a subtler indirect part, such as by sharing intelligence.
