President Biden is warning those behind the Kabul attacks that killed dozens of people, including 12 U.S. servicemembers, 'We will hunt you down and make you pay.' Biden also promised the U.S. evacuation of Americans and Afghans from Kabul will continue.
Farthing is trying to get staff of his Nowzad charity out of Afghanistan, along with the group’s rescued animals.
Overnight, warnings emerged from Western capitals about a threat from IS, which has seen its ranks boosted by the Taliban’s freeing of prisoners during its advance through Afghanistan. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied that any attack was imminent at the airport, where the group’s fighters have deployed and occasionally used heavy-handed tactics to control the crowds. After the attack, he appeared to shirk blame, noting the airport is controlled by U.S. troops.
“We have to find a way to evacuate because our lives are in danger,” Sadat said. “My husband received several threatening messages from unknown sources. We have no chance except escaping.”
