“Just accurate statements of where my child was at the time of the bombing, where he took his last breath – all that, we have no information on any of that,” Alicia Lopez, mother of Cpl.
The Biden administration has sought in recent days to honor members of the military involved in the US withdrawal of American troops from the country.
But two years on, questions over the frenzied exit remain and Lopez and other families of Abbey Gate victims are demanding that the president take accountability.
“We have requested true accountability and validation of the stories that the Marines that were injured and that were there have told us,” Lopez told Tapper.
At a congressional roundtable earlier this week, the families of Abbey Gate victims offered emotional testimony about the withdrawal and losses.
