Apparently, there was Intel received from the Taliban about possible attacks. Could also be the reason why the Taliban wanted evacuation to completed by 31st of August and refusing to extend the deadline. The suicide bombings could have happened days earlier if not for the check points set up by the Taliban.

AmazonTopaz:I've been reading your posts on this thread for a while now. It seems as if where you're from,thoughts are only expressed through insults and unnecessary ranting. Indeed,Trump started this whole withdrawal process,but why didn't Biden stop it? The dude has reversed almost everything Trump did since he assumed office,why is the Afghanistan issue different? |

The report below was released hours before the blasts by ISIS. The UK and the US have issued a warning to any remaining citizens in Afghanistan to stay away from Kabul airport due to an “ongoing and high threat of terrorist attack”. A possible terror attack at the airport could come within “hours”, Britain’s armed forces minister James Heappey warned on Thursday morning – calling the threat “credible and imminent”. The defence minister described the terror threat to people outside Kabul airport as “lethal” amid concerns over an attack by an affiliate of the so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan, Isis-K. “I can’t stress the desperation of the situation enough – the threat is credible, it is imminent, it is lethal,” Mr Heappey told BBC Breakfast. “We wouldn’t be saying this if we weren’t genuinely concerned about offering Islamic State a target.” The minister told LBC: “I was given lines today for what might happen if the attack happened while I was doing this media round.” He added: “Daesh, or Islamic State, are guilty of all sorts of evil. The opportunism of wanting to target a major international humanitarian mission is just utterly deplorable, but sadly true to form for an organisation as barbarous as Daesh.” Mr Heappey said British intelligence about the “imminence and credibility” of an attack by the so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan had “grown significantly” this week. “There is real lethality to the plans we’re aware of,” he added. It is not yet clear how the terror warning might disrupt evacuation plans. Britain was set to make one last push to bring nearly 2,000 Afghan interpreters and staff out of Kabul on Thursday, in what was expected to be the final day of the RAF’s airlift operation. Officials in London insisted that the timing of the last UK evacuation flight has not yet been decided, but defence secretary Ben Wallace made clear in a conference call with MPs on Wednesday evening that time was running very short. |

Mr Wallace was reported to have told MPs that Afghans hoping to seek asylum in the UK would be better off now heading for the border and trying to make their way to a third country such as Pakistan or Iran. Mr Heappey said there will be 11 more flights out of Kabul on Thursday, but declined to say whether there will be more on Friday, citing the security of troops. “We will do our best to protect those who are there. There is every chance that as further reporting comes in we may be able to change the advice again and process people anew but there’s now guarantee of that,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “The window of opportunity to evacuate people is closing. It’s not as simply a case of we can pause, deal with the [terrorist] threat and pick up where we left off.” The Foreign Office issued an alert on Wednesday evening stating: “Do not travel to Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport. If you are in the area of the airport, move away to a safe location and await further advice.” The US Embassy in Kabul advised US citizens at a number of gates at the airport to “leave immediately”, noting “security threats outside the gates.” The Pentagon said on Wednesday that more than 10,000 people remained at Kabul airport waiting to be evacuated. EU nations have offered stark warnings about the waning days of a massive airlift to bring people out of Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control of the country. France said it would halt its evacuations on Friday while Denmark said its last flight had already left Kabul’s airport. Danish defence minister Trine Bramsen bluntly warned: “It is no longer safe to fly in or out of Kabul.” Eight RAF flights managed to lift 1,988 people from Kabul within the past 24 hours, Mr Heappey said, taking the total since the Taliban began its march to power to just over 12,200. |

20 years, 4 US presidents, 5 UK PM and over 2 Trillion dollars. All gradually comes to an end. |

Tdotbluejays:basolico the Proud Boys and Nazi lover must be in pain now seeing her Nazi lady being shot to death before she can carry out her terrorist acts against members of the Congress. Tell that brainstem conspiratorial nut to show his Nazi membership card. |

Tdotbluejays:Yes o Buddy. This tax paying American supports President Biden pulling out of Afghanistan. That should have been done by President Obama few years after Bin Laden was assassinated. We do not belong in any country for twenty years and people that doesn't like that can petiton Buhari to send Nigeria's military to Afghanistan and see if Nigeria won't go bankrupt wothin six months not to talk of all the body bags that will be arriving at Abuja and Lagos Airports. |

3minssex:We do not belong there. I hate Trump with all the cells on my body but supported him when he announced that we were gojng to leave Afghanistan and i supports President Biden 100%. Wd do not belong in that country and after 2.500 young Americans dead and over $2 Trillion, time to pack up. I don't want my tax money going to those savages called Taliban. |

PrideofLincoln1:The total budget of Nigeria is not up to the education budget of some region or states in developed country. Nigeria has its own problems with ISWAP(Daesh in West Africa), Boko Haram, killer herdsmen and other bandits roaming around the country. They should deal with that first before trying to do an ECOMOG type mission outside Africa |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:03am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:I saw that on the News. Nigeria is slowly sliding towards anarchy and Nigerians needs to speak out aggressively because their worthlessly inept leader will fly away and the people will bear the brunt. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:05am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:Chicago's budget is almost twice as big as Nigeria's budget with that Naira turning to a tissue paper. I doubt if Nigeria can finance Afghanistan for a week before folding up due to bankruptcy. |

PrideofLincoln1: ![]() Nigeria has been sold out to China. China can still offer more loans for the Nigerian gov to help flush out Taliban and ISIS in Afghanistan.

I still can believe what these village champions sees in conservatism from their villages that is appealing to them. We that grew up with them knows their ways but people that never steps out of Nigeria think they know them more than we do. I heard some idiot say we hate White 3. These brainstems forgets that a big chunk of Whites are liberals and wd do not hate them. I even like conservatives thay do not add bigotry and misogyny to their agendas like Trump did. My hatred of Trump comes out of his racism, misogyny, xenophobia and pathological lying. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:11am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:A lot of African countries are indebted to China and most of th rd m can't pay off the loan because it comes with clmpounding interests. Many African countries will be speaking, Chinese, Mandarin or Cantonese soon. |

PrideofLincoln1:What the GQP practices in the US is not the type of conservatism I know. This is having lived in the UK and now Canada. It's just a far-right type of politics. These guys would tell you they know more about conservatism more than the likes of Lindsey Graham and Moscow Mitch all the way from umudike. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:17am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:Boko Haram and ISWAP has infliterated Nigeria Army and i believe that Buhari is codedly sympathetic to their cause and so is Pataki and many Ministers not to tal pf Generals in the Army. It's a matter of time before hell unleash inbthat country if care is not taken. That plus the economic condition of the country is in dore strait. I don't know why people can't fight for their rights. They shoukd take a note frlm Western Countries that do not tolerate garbage from their leaders. Trump was given a chance and he messed up big time and we threw him out and now he's so incosequential that he's a laughingstock in the Fruited Plains now. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:21am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:Exactly. Trump brought this mess to America with his brand of racism, bigotry, misogyny and xenophobia disguised as conservatism and the RepubliKKKans are paying for it big tkme. In couple weeks, we shall start our massive voter's registration in Chicagoland after the Labor Day and we are targetting anywhere from 150.000 to 200.000 newly minted voters to beat the record of 120.000+ we had last year. The RepubliKKKans are in for a tough ride in 2022 and 2024. |

PrideofLincoln1:There are two bad candidates lined up behind Buhari (Atiku-Ole and Tinubu). It's not looking great. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Tdotbluejays: 4:23am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Twitter is interesting tonight. 31st of August hopefully stays firm. Don Junior is trending (obviously for the wrong reason).

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 4:24am On Aug 27, 2021 |
Tdotbluejays:They are just asbad as Buhari. That Tinubu, i do know a little about him in his days in Chicago and my father knew him well but i won't say much. If he is elected. Nigeria gets what she deserves. Recycling bunch of looters and incompetent criminals. |

PrideofLincoln1:He stands a good chance to be honest. APC rigging machinery would be out in full force. He is currently holidaying and receiving healthcare in London, UK. Governors and other politicians have been traveling to the UK to pay homage to him. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Tdotbluejays: 4:28am On Aug 27, 2021 |
PrideofLincoln1:Yes. He was not loved as a child and he mis-interpreted Biden's empathy for weakness. American twitter came for him ![]()

Tdotbluejays:I guess Nigerians don't care that they do not have functional healthcare system knowing that their leaders and elites in the society will fly abroad to get their needed medical care while they die of treatable diseases due to non existent medical care. I don't know why these people are so afraid of their leaders. Any country that the people are afraid of their leaders will be a poor country and when the leaders are afraid of the citizens, it will be a prosperous country. That's the difference between Western Countries and Africa. |

At the press conference today, Peter Doocy asked President Biden if he bears sny responsibility for what happened in Afghanistan and Biden said yes. Will anyone tell me one thing the vile Racist Pig named Trump ever accepted responsibility for in his life not to talk of his four tragic years in the Oval Office. |

PrideofLincoln1:That's the heart of a true leader. Never going to be smooth sailing and reasonable people perfectly understand that. "IstandwithPresidentBiden" was trending at number 5 in the US tonight. Americans still loves their man.

BIDEN: "I bear responsibility for fundamentally all that's happened of late. But here's the deal...you know as well as I do that the former President made a deal with The Taliban." This man is confused |

BIDEN: "Ladies & Gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell of NBC." https://twitter.com/i/status/1431009520000634893 does this sound like a president or a puppet? the Loonies here supporting this man please answer |

“Right now, I would advise ISIS-K to think very hard about how it would like to be perceived by the international community going forward.”
