World News | Bidens Visit Wounded Troops at Walter Reed

Washington, Sep 3 (AP) President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden visited injured US troops at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Thursday night.

There are 15 Marines at the hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, who were wounded in an Aug. 26 suicide bombing at the Kabul airport. The attack occurred as the U.S. government was arranging evacuations of Americans, Afghans and allies before the nearly two-decade war in Afghanistan officially ended Aug. 31.

One of the wounded Marines was in critical condition. Three were in serious condition and 11 in stable condition. (AP)
