State Department: US Citizens Killed in Kabul Hotel Attack

US State Department said that multiple US citizens were killed and injured in the attack overnight Saturday on Intercontinental hotel in Kabul.
The State Department has not released any further information about the US citizens killed and injured. It’s not clear whether they were US government employees or civilians not employed by the government, or how many were killed and injured.
Taliban-claimed attack at the Intercontinental Hotel killed at least 22 people and lasted more than 13 hours, according to The Associated Press.
Reports of the death toll have varied, with Reuters saying 20 people were killed and some local news outlets saying more than 40.
The US State Department had warned last week of a possible attack by extremist groups targeting Kabul hotels.
