One of the four Americans killed in a terrorist attack on a hotel in Afghanistan over the weekend was identified as a spokesman for a former Donald Trump adviser.
Twenty-two people in total died in the attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.
Others were injured, including two Americans.
The former spokesman, Glenn Selig, was president and CEO of Selig Multimedia, based in Tampa, Florida.
Selig served as a spokesman for Rick Gates, who worked on Trump’s presidential campaign.
“The tragically ironic part is Glenn’s last words to me were, ‘Be careful,’” Burkman said. “It’s just a tragedy — terrible.”
Selig was there on business and had in the past represented groups trying to bring peace to the country, Burkman added.
The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing.
“The United States strongly condemns the attack on January 20 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told Politico. “We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and wish for the speedy recovery of those wounded. Out of respect for the families of the deceased, we have no further comment.”
