Merkel condemns ‘heinous’ Afghan airport attack

German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemns the “heinous” attack outside Kabul airport on people seeking evacuation from Afghanistan.

“We don’t know all the details yet, but the terrorists targeted people waiting at the airport gates who were hoping to leave,” Merkel says. “They wanted security and freedom, and that is why it is an absolutely heinous attack in a very, very tense situation.”
