(Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden shut his eyes and tilted his head back as the flag-draped cases carrying the remains of 11 American service members killed in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan emerged on Sunday from a military plane at a base in Delaware. None of the fallen service members was over the age of 31, and five were just 20, as old as the war itself. Earlier on Sunday, Biden and his wife met with grieving family members of some of the fallen American service members. The remains of two other U.S. service members killed in the attack are being brought home privately at the request of their families. The U.S. military said on Saturday it had killed two ISIS-K militants in a drone attack in eastern Afghanistan.
