The Pentagon marked the fifth anniversary of the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport, revealing an ongoing investigation into the attack. Senior Advisor Sean Parnell announced recovered classified documents, previously hidden in safes, were found and examined by a special review panel. The panel, led by Parnell—a veteran of the Afghanistan war—aims to provide a full account of decisions made during the incident. The review follows a 2024 Central Command review confirming the attack could not have been prevented tactically. Parnell emphasized adherence to evidence, rejecting rushed or incomplete conclusions. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth previously established the panel to address questions from Gold Star families and the public. The investigation remains ongoing, with no specific completion date provided.
