US president confirms that bombings near airport were carried out by ISIL affiliate.

United States President Joe Biden vowed to retaliate against Thursday’s attack in Kabul, saying that he will hunt down those responsible and make them pay.

Biden confirmed in a speech from the White House on Thursday that the bombings were carried out by the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, ISKP (ISIS-K), ISIL’s affiliate in Afghanistan.

“To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive; we will not forget,” Biden said.

“We will hunt you down and make you pay. I will defend our interests in our people with every measure at my command

It is believed to be the most US troops killed in Afghanistan in a single incident since 30 personnel died when a helicopter was shot down in August 2011.

Biden added that the US will continue the evacuations of American citizens and US allies despite the attack. “We will not be deterred by terrorists; we will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuations,” he said.

American service members had not been killed in combat Afghanistan since February 2020.

Biden had postponed his engagements for the day, including a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, to focus on the situation in Afghanistan.

General Kenneth McKenzie, commander of the US Central Command, confirmed earlier on Thursday that airlifts will not stop after the attack.

“Our mission is to evacuate US citizens, third-country nationals, Special Immigrant Visa holders, US embassy staff and Afghans at risk,” McKenzie said. “Despite this attack, we’re continuing the mission.”

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, the top US general, also said the American military remains “focused and steadfast on this mission”.

In Washington, politicians from both major parties condemned the attack, with Republicans taking aim at Biden over the withdrawal decision.

Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican, called for Biden’s resignation.

“To say that today’s loss of American lives in Kabul is sickening does not begin to do justice to what has happened,” Hawley wrote on Twitter.

BTW, on the other thread, i saw many ignorant people saying democrats are useless bla bla bla


Yet, they've forgotten in the history of America, democrats are known to be using war to settle peace rather than Republicans negotiation

.Biden You have succeeded in Making Afghanistan A breeding ground for terrorist once again, this singular event has shown the world how Weak and foolish you are in your reasoning of handing global peace! This was completely avoidable
And for those clamoring for an Islamic state in Nigeria, this is just the tip of an ice berg

Huntington. At least, Biden's 'VOWING' is honest unlike Buhari's 'VOWING'. If you want to know some of the most hidden truth about the insecurity in Nigeria, I beg you to read this

Local man is just speechless on top dx matter

None of your business Oga Biden

Maybe this will make western powers sit up against the Fulani terrorism in nija

Hehehe.

Show of shame.

Under your watch sir,terrorism have skyrocketed.

America is loosing face and value like Nigerian naira.

Mr Bidden, continue to sleep until what is worst than the 1993 and 2001 World Trade Center bombing terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City will happen.

Biden is not smart and he is a weakling compare to Trump who wouldn't have allowed Taliban's takeover let alone loss of lives of US marine.Biden and his cohorts rigged themselves into power and allowed terrorists to run amok that's what electoral fraud can do to a nation.

Carry on sir

I miss trump sincerely. By now the blood thirsty terrorists for dey collect some hot stuff

Perhaps this man is thinking that isis and Taliban still dey fear Americans,they carried out that attack to show America govt that they don't give a fvck about America govt.seems like Biden is even weak pass buhari the next attack will be on the USA soil if care is not taken

Smh.

Why didn't they dare trump? Because they know he will level them to the ground!

Biden seem week.

Leave them to their shithole una say no

Biden empty barrel...


I trust Trump

Like he too is not responsible

Honestly even as a Muslim, I strongly condemned this actions by ISIS. You dont force people against their wishes. If truly you preach peace as claimed, why this attack. Honestly I pray Allah hold them accountable for their sins. This are the people that make non muslims hate the muslims with this barbaric act. Jihad is not all about killing. Jihad according to our prophet means winning souls through character or good deeds like he the prophet did. This is not jihad, but genocide.
May Allah bring peace back to Afghanistan.

Oga Biden, nah is tweaking

America gradually losing its respect under Biden. Reminds me of Jonathan and Buhari, pushed Goodie out in exchange for change. We forgot to ask if it was positive or negative change. Americans just towed that path the day they pushed Trump out but let's keep our fingers crossed and see how it pans out.

Why must it happen before retaliation? White monkey that was rigged in by Antichrist. The foolish man got it wrong from day 1 he withdrew the U.S troops.
