An Afghan man accused of scouting for ISIS-K in the Abbey Gate bombing at Kabul airport is now on trial in Virginia. His lawyer told jurors that a written confession was false and that the defendant was coerced during interrogations. The Abbey Gate attack in 2021 killed U.S. service members and Afghan civilians and was claimed by Islamic State Khorasan, which U.S. officials blamed for the airport assault.
