美国的撤军日期后来被推迟到8月31日，拜登总统表示，美军遭受的威胁是撤军应在8月底完成的一个重要原因。

But his administration has been criticized over the way the withdraw has been carried out and the president's suggestion that hundreds of thousands of Afghan troops were prepared to defend their country,

At this point, Afghanistan's Taliban rulers are not suspected in Thursday's airport bombing.
