Only one suicide bomber in Kabul attack: Pentagon

Description

Only one suicide bomber carried out the deadly attack at the Kabul airport, General Hank Taylor says at a Pentagon briefing, correcting an earlier assessment that there were two bombers and two separate explosions. "We do not believe that there was a second explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, that it was one suicide bomber," Taylor says. SOUNDBITE
