The terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the attacks. The Afghan Taliban has said at least 28 of its members have been killed in the attacks. “We lost more people than Americans,” noted an unnamed Taliban official.
According to Afghan authorities, the attacks claimed approximately 150 people. In addition to the dead, the US Department of Defense confirmed 18 wounded soldiers.
According to Reuters, the Islamic State said one of its suicide bombers targeted “translators and collaborators of the US military”.
After the attacks in Kabul, Biden ordered plans to attack IS
US President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he had ordered military commanders to draw up operational plans for attacks on the leadership, property and facilities of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization. His words were heard in the White House a few hours after the bombings near the airport in the Afghan capital Kabul.
“Those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone else who wishes to harm America, know: We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will persecute you and force you to pay.”
According to world agencies, about 90 Afghan civilians were killed and 150 others were injured in suicide bombings at Hamid Karzai Airport. IS claimed responsibility for the attacks. The Afghan militant Taliban movement, which recently occupied the country, has condemned the attacks.

Biden declared that “we will respond with strength and precision – at a time, place and in a way we choose.” However, according to CNN, he refused to provide details of the timing of the event. “These IS terrorists will not win. We will save the Americans. We will get our Afghan allies out. Our mission will continue. America will not be intimidated.” stressed Biden.
We can confirm an explosion outside Kabul airport. Casualties are unclear at this time. We will provide additional details when we can.

Asked if he thought it was a mistake to rely on the Taliban to secure the perimeter of Kabul Airport, Biden said: “No, I don’t think so. No one (Taliban) trusts them … But it’s in their own interest for us to leave.” According to Biden, there is no evidence yet of any collusion between the Taliban and the IS that would have resulted in attacks on the airport.

Biden added that the US evacuation mission will continue and will not be “discouraged by terrorists”. He also stressed that he was behind his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. “I never thought we should sacrifice American lives to try to form a democratic government in Afghanistan; a country that has never been a united country in its entire history.” he said.
“Our interest was to prevent al-Qaeda from reappearing, first and foremost to get (Osama) bin Laden, to overthrow al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and to prevent this from happening again. As I have said a hundred times, terrorism has metastasized all over We have bigger threats coming from other countries, much closer to the US … Ladies and gentlemen, it was time to end the 20-year war. ” he added.
Biden also confirmed August 31 as the deadline for US troops to leave Afghanistan. But as he noted, even after this date, the United States will try to evacuate some Afghan applicants for special immigrant visas from the country.

Biden called American soldiers killed in Kabul heroes
US troops who died in Thursday’s bombings in the Afghan capital Kabul are heroes, said US President Joe Biden at the White House. “Heroes who have embarked on a dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others,” said Biden. According to him, they were part of an unprecedented evacuation effort, in which “in 11 days more than 100,000 American citizens, American partners and Afghans who helped us and others were brought to safety.”
Trudeau condemned the bombings in Kabul; Canada has completed the evacuation operation
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the bombings at Hamid Karzai Airport in the Afghan capital Kabul. The BBC station informed about it on Friday.
“These heinous attacks have taken the lives of many innocent people who have desperately sought to leave the country and those who have supported evacuation efforts, including members of the US military and medical personnel.” Trudeau declared.
The Canadian prime minister also expressed his condolences to the survivors of the attacks. “We are thinking of the people of Afghanistan and of everyone who has been affected by these senseless acts of violence. We express our condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims and we wish complete recovery to the wounded.” said Trudeau.

Trudeau’s statement comes shortly after Canada confirmed that it had completed the evacuation from Afghanistan. The official departure of Canadian troops from Afghanistan came just hours before the suicide bombings near the airport. However, several Canadian citizens are stuck in Afghanistan, and it is not yet clear exactly how many they are, writes the BBC.
“Our commitments in Afghanistan are not over,” said Trudeau, who said Canada would work with its allies to find a safe way out of Afghanistan for those still there. Canada evacuated about 3,700 people from Kabul Airport. At the same time, Trudeau pledged that his country would receive 20,000 Afghans in the next “years and months”.
