NEW: US official confirms 2 suicide bombers were in explosive laden vehicle targeted by US drone strike today. The vehicle targeted by the US drone was parked when the drone struck. Airstrike occurred about 3 km from the Kabul Airport. The drone flew out of UAE.

US drone used in today’s airstrike, like the one used Friday, must fly from a US base in UAE, about 8 hours flying time to Afghanistan. It can stay above the target for about 4-5 hours before needing to return “over the horizon.”
