At least 13 members of the US military have died along with dozens of civilians after two bombs exploded near Kabul airport on Thursday while western countries were scrambling to complete their final evacuation flights from Afghanistan.
The Pentagon said that in addition to the 13 deaths at least 18 troops were injured following the attacks by two suicide bombers believed to be affiliated with Isis.
General Kenneth McKenzie, head of the Pentagon’s central command, said he expected Isis to strike again. “We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks . . . and we’re doing everything we can to be prepared,” he said. “If we can find who’s associated with this, we will go after them.”
