According to his biography on the Oxford University Press website, “Dr. Max Abrahmsis among the world’s leading experts on the subject of terrorism.”
Try to keep that in mind when you read his take on reports that today’s deadly complex suicide attack at the Kabul airport was carried out by ISIS:
The Taliban response must be fierce and swift if it wants to cultivate any counterterrorism credibility.

You understand most of their counterterrorism credibility was destroyed when they harbored Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda
