Afghanistan intervened in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, saying that the U.S. forces and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) member states were hotbeds of terrorism, and once overthrew the Taliban administration and established a democratic administration. However, before the US troops withdrew at the end of August, the Taliban launched an offensive all over the country and conquered Kabul, the capital.
Citizens who refused the Taliban administration flooded Kabul Airport, and while trying to escape from the country, a large-scale terrorist attack occurred, causing many casualties to US soldiers and citizens.There are rumors that the Islamic extremist organization Islamic State and the international terrorist organization Al Qaeda are active, and the information is confusing.
