An Afghan man alleged to be affiliated with the Islamic State has been convicted of conspiracy charges related to the deadly suicide bombing at Kabul's airport during the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

The conviction involves terrorism conspiracy charges tied to the attack that occurred as American forces were conducting the final evacuation from Afghanistan. The bombing killed 13 U.S. service members and numerous Afghan civilians.

The August 2021 attack took place during the chaotic final days of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, as thousands of people crowded the airport seeking evacuation. The bombing was claimed by ISIS-K, the Afghan affiliate of the Islamic State group.

The conviction represents one of the first major legal outcomes related to the Kabul airport attack. The bombing marked one of the deadliest days for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in years and occurred just days before the completion of the American military withdrawal.

Details about the defendant's specific role in the conspiracy and sentencing information were not immediately available. The case highlights ongoing efforts by U.S. authorities to pursue legal action against those connected to the attack.
