US troops are now completely out of Afghanistan. The final days of evacuations were punctuated by violence: suicide bombers, rockets targeting the Kabul airport. And over the weekend, a US drone strike destroyed an ISIS car bomb, which the US military says was targeting the Kabul airport. It also killed 10 civilians, according to reports from family members.
