The United States struck back at ISIS-K with an airstrike Friday that is said to have killed two “high-profile” planners of the suicide bombing whose names they won’t be releasing at the moment.
Now AFP is reporting that the U.S. believes that a new attack on Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul is “highly likely” within the next 24 to 36 hours.

Biden says he alerted military commanders “to take every possible measure to prioritize force protection” after a briefing from his national security team.
Probably an evergreen statement at this point

We should really think about doing something to prevent this.

What sort of running commentary is this from the US administration. The job is to neutralize the coming attack or just wait for such barbaric acts to happen. Cannot understand the psyche of the Biden administration.🤔😨

I’m guessing they have a doozy and planned for the 20th anniversary of 9/11

Great! Who will the guys in charge of our military pick to be sacrificed on this next pending attack. Prayers for our troops. God help them because I think they're on their own.

If he hadn't abandoned Bagram AF Base, we'd have other options for getting our people & allies out

Maybe you should have got American civilians out BEFORE having the military leave? You know, to protect them? I'm no military strategist but come on…this is basic common sense. Stranded people are helpless now.

We can just pray that it doesn’t happen.
