The parents of fallen Marine Kareem Nikoui spoke out Monday on “Fox & Friends,” demanding accountability from U.S. officials after the Kabul suicide bomber was identified.
“I’d like to see General Milley resign,” Steve Nikoui, Kareem’s father, told host Rachel Campos-Duffy. “He should be held responsible for this. He’s the Joint Chiefs of Staff [chairman].”
“They let the Taliban dictate the evacuation,” he continued. “I don’t feel any of them have been held accountable. And the president, he hasn’t taken any accountability on it either.”

“We still haven’t got the autopsy report,” Nikoui stated. “We have reasons to believe that our son was shot by gunshots.”
There was reportedly a firefight following the bombing just outside the airport gate, and also a second attack at a nearby hotel, the Baron Hotel, where many sought refuge as they tried to escape.
“He wanted to be a Marine since he was a toddler… it was just something that he had always wanted,” Chappell stated. “It’s still kind of unreal that he’s even gone.”
