Afghanistan: US drone strike 'eliminates airport bomb threat'

A US drone strike in the Afghan capital Kabul has prevented another deadly suicide attack at the airport, US military officials say.

The strike targeted a vehicle carrying at least one person associated with the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group, US Central Command said.

The US had warned of possible further attacks as evacuations wind down.

A bomb attack at Kabul airport last Thursday killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops.
