I think they were all just in the house nearby and the dudes in the car got obliterated. These vests of theirs are serious gadgets, one killed 100+ (200+ apparently) when ripped through a crowd. According to the official story at least, they had multiple transported in the car.
There was no other way to do this, the airport is INSIDE the city, and its a city of 4+ million. Theoretically you could wait and hit them after they drove to near their target and were distributing the vests before the attack to take out the entire cell, but who knows how much collateral this would do in who knows what location.
And asking the Taliban (and that means Haqqanis' practically-AQ terrorists specifically, because they're in charge there) to do it would be obviously ludicrous.
