A Republican MP congratulated President Joe Biden following the US retaliatory attack on the local IS offshoot and alleged “planner” of the terrorist attack on Kabul airport. “The blow against Isis‑K is the beginning of revenge,” writes Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger after the attack on Twitter. “Congratulations to our military and a good decision by President Biden. Nothing will make up for our loss of men, but it must not go unanswered.” The Afghan IS branch “Islamic State Khorasan Province” (IS‑K) claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed at least 85 people on Thursday, including 13 US soldiers. “We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Biden said to the masterminds.
