Biden: Another attack on Kabul Airport 'highly likely'

2021• 11 minPG

Synopsis

Kabul Airport faces renewed threats from Islamist terrorists, prompting U.S. President Joe Biden to issue warnings following a deadly suicide bombing and subsequent drone strike.

Synopsis

U.S. President Joe Biden warns of credible intelligence suggesting a potential terrorist attack on Kabul Airport by Islamist militants. This alert follows a drone strike that eliminated two members of the Islamic State Khorasan (ISK), responsible for a suicide bombing on August 26 that killed over 100 people. Afghan survivors are hospitalized as the U.S. military reports no civilian casualties from the strike in Nangarhar province, despite Taliban claims of injuries. Amid ongoing airlift operations, Afghans continue to navigate Taliban checkpoints to secure evacuation flights before the August 31 withdrawal deadline.
