Deb Heine at American Greatness: Two explosions were reported in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, killing at least five people, and injuring many more, including three Marines.
A suicide bomb reportedly detonated outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA), and another bomb went off at the nearby Baron Hotel, where Americans have been gathering for rescue and evacuation.

According to reports, U.S. forces exchanged fire with gunmen outside near the "Abbey" gate, where evacuees have gathered in large numbers in recent days.
