Blasts Rock Areas Outside Kabul's Airport Hours After Warnings of Daesh Terror Threat

Earlier Thursday, a senior UK defence official warned that there was an "imminent" threat of a "severe" terrorist attack at the Kabul airport by Daesh-Khorasan, a branch of the Islamic State* terrorist group operating in Afghanistan.

Two explosions rocked areas near the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Thursday.

The first explosion, which took place near the airport's eastern gate, was attributed to bomb planted in a vehicle, and local media say a firefight took place involving unknown militants and US-led coalition forces tasked with guarding the airport amid the continued evacuation of troops, diplomats and civilians.
A second explosion, believed to have been caused by a suicide bomber, hit near a hotel situated near the airport and used by British and US forces. Reporters citing unnamed State Department officials said that 'four or more' US troops have been injured in that attack.

An official from the militant group's political office told Sputnik that the Taliban is unaware of who is responsible for the attacks. At least 13 people were killed in the blasts, according to the Taliban.

'ISIS suicide bomber' kills 13 at Kabul airport: Multiple casualties - including children and three US Marines - as two explosions tear through crowd, hours after Westerners were warned to stay away because of ISIS attack


WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
There was an explosion at the Baron Hotel at Kabul airport shortly before 6.30pm local time Thursday
Less than two hours later, a second explosion was reported nearby at the Abbey Gate
At least 13 people have been killed and at least three US Marines were injured in the blasts
The blast came hours after officials warned of an 'imminent' bomb threat from ISIS-K
US troops closed airport gates on Thursday after the threat was reported while rushing to remove citizens
America's top diplomat in Afghanistan, Ross Wilson, claimed earlier it was still 'safe' to go to the airport
Afghans are fleeing to the Pakistan border but are being stopped on the way by the Taliban or sent back
Time is running out for them and for the foreign nationals still stuck in the region to escape
The Pentagon has insisted it will not withdraw troops in the next 36 hours and will stay until August 31 at least
Canada, Britain, Holland and Poland are winding down their evacuation missions in light of the growing threat
There are at least 1,000 Americans in Afghanistan who the State Department have not been able to evacuate
President Biden, who has refused to take responsibility for the shambolic evacuation, has been briefed on the explosion


Two explosions at Kabul airport have killed at least 13 people, including children, and injured at least three US Marines just hours after intelligence officials warned of there was an imminent threat of an ISIS bomb attack to the crowds gathered there trying to escape the Taliban.

The first blast was caused by an ISIS suicide bomber in a vest, according to unnamed government sources cited by Fox and Politico. It detonated outside The Baron Hotel, where Westerners were staying before their evacuation flights.

A second explosion was reported nearby a short time later at the airport's Abbey Gate, where crowds of Afghans have been gathering for more than a week in the hope of being put on one of the evacuation flights out. That explosion was caused by a car bomb, according to unconfirmed reports.

US officials believe ISIS-Khorsasan (ISIS-K) - the group they were warned about - was behind the attack.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby tweeted there were a 'number of US & civilian' casualties but it's unclear if he was referring to deaths or injuries.

Hundreds of ISIS Militants Surround Kabul Airport, More Attacks Imminent

“I think that history is going to record this was the logical, rational, and right decision to make,” – Joe Biden on his Afghanistan withdrawal

There were two explosions reported outside the Kabul Airport on Thursday.

The bombings took place near the Baron Hotel where the US and UK used as a meeting place for stranded citizens on their way out of the country.

This is the dumbest shit ever. There is only one, right way out of this. Re-deploy every swinging dick and re-secure a perimeter, maintaining it OFFENSIVELY. Biden needs to snap to the fact that at this point the political fallout isn't going to hurt him any more.

Meanwhile, Harris is in Vietnam of all places trying to get VN to stand against China's bullying:rolleyes:

Rest - https://www.mediaite.com/news/lindsey-graham-calls-for-us-military-to-retake-bagram-air-base/Graham is correct. As is, this "operation", or what it has devolved into -- recess at an elementary school -- is unsalvageable.

As a military member, I'd damned-sure rather re-establish an actual military operation and base than stand on line in a shooting gallery trying to guard a perimeter with small arms.

We have the best military in the World. And the worst politicans/leaders.

BREAKING: At least 10 US Service Members were killed in Kabul. (all over the news now)

***Update: Confirmed 12 US service members killed..11 Marines..1 Navy Medic


**This is all on Biden.

....JUST IN: US State Dept. says there will be no news briefing today..

"...We made clear to the Taliban that any attack, any attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with a swift and forceful response," - Joe Biden, one week ago"


We are waiting…Mr. President, your move.

I just thought of something. Is this a US action, or a UN action? Not that this gets better if it is the latter, BUT ...

If it's a UN action, the UN can relieve Biden of command and appoint someone else.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E9uGiG8XIAMr0rD?format=jpg&name=smallFor me to even contemplate the UN is desperation.

Saw in the news yesterday Britain's Foreign Minister said the UK would not consider another military operation with this administration, Biden OR Harris. China has a heavy cruiser task force heading for the vicinity of Taiwan and those little islands Japan owns that China claims.

Biden's not just f-ing up the US. He's f-ing up the World.

It's really an easy decision for Biden.

Send many troops back to fully control the airport and build a full perimeter. Ensure all that need to leave get to do so in an orderly fashion. Boots off the ground after all the Americans have left.

Anything shy of that, if he fully bail on the 31st, and people are still there - then that's fucked. And he should be impeached. I think he should already on this crap.
