Before the final withdrawal of the troops, US President Biden considers it “very likely” that there will be another attack. The situation at Kabul airport remains extremely dangerous. He also announced further retaliatory attacks. Meanwhile, the Taliban are in the process of establishing a government.

After the devastating suicide attack at Kabul airport, another attack could be imminent, according to the US. “The situation on site is still extremely dangerous and the risk of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high,” said US President Joe Biden. According to the army command, “an attack in the next 24 to 36 hours is very likely”. The military has been instructed to take all possible steps to protect the soldiers. Until the complete withdrawal, the US military is still supposed to bring people out of the country – the UK had recently completed its evacuation mission.

Dozens of civilians and 13 US soldiers were killed in the attack on Thursday at Kabul airport. Senior officials from the former Afghan government said more than a hundred people were killed. Some media even reported around 170 deaths.

Drone attack on IS territory US military retaliates

Biden announced further retaliatory attacks on the regional branch of the jihadist militia Islamic State (IS), which claimed the attack for itself on Thursday. According to the Pentagon, two high-ranking members of the militia Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-K) were killed in a drone attack by the USA on Saturday morning. Another was injured, said Major General William Taylor at the Pentagon. According to current knowledge, there are no civilian victims, Taylor continues. This was “not the last” attack on those responsible for the attack “on our troops and innocent civilians in Kabul,” said the US President.
US military plans to withdraw from Kabul by Tuesday

US President Biden announces further retaliatory attacks on IS terrorists.

The US military will be responsible for the security and operations of Kabul airport until the planned withdrawal on Tuesday, said the spokesman for the US Department of Defense, John Kirby. All the gates of the airport are still under the control of the US Army. The militant Islamist Taliban had previously claimed to control several gates of the airport. Kirby said the Taliban had set up security checkpoints around the airport. “But they do not control gates, they are not at the airport and they have no role in security.” On Friday, more than 5,000 US troops were stationed at Kabul Airport. For security reasons, no information on troop strength will be disclosed until the withdrawal is complete, Kirby said.

Germany and several other US allies have already ended their operations in Kabul, and Great Britain also flew its last soldiers on Saturday. The Ministry of Defense in London thanked them on Twitter that evening “all those who have served so valiantly under enormous pressure and appalling conditions to safely evacuate the most vulnerable civilians”. So far, the US Air Force and allies have brought more than 112,000 own citizens and former Afghan aid workers out of the country since mid-August. The US military is expected to evacuate people until Tuesday, but the number of people flown out will decrease due to the simultaneous withdrawal of soldiers and equipment.

Taliban want to announce cabinet

With the US evacuations coming to an end, the radical Islamic Taliban are preparing to build a government in Afghanistan. In the next few days they wanted to announce the full cabinet, said a Taliban spokesman. The representatives of important authorities such as the Ministry of Health and Education and the Central Bank have already been appointed. In addition, it is assumed that the turbulence in the domestic currency will soon end. The Taliban condemned the US retaliation against ISIS as a “clear attack on Afghan territory”. However, according to the spokesman, they asked the US and other Western countries to maintain diplomatic relations even after their soldiers had withdrawn.
