While the nation and the world awaits comments from President Joe Biden on the two suicide bombing attacks outside of Kabul airport earlier today, it has been reported that attacks occurred while thousands of people are seeking to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. At least 13 people were killed and 15 wounded, according to Russian officials.

AP has reported that a U.S. official said the complex attack was “definitely believed” to have been carried out by the Islamic State group, whose affiliate in Afghanistan grew out of disaffected Taliban members who hold an even more extreme view of Islam. They are known as ISIS-K.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby also confirmed the blasts, saying one was near an airport entrance and another was a short distance away by a hotel.

Biden had previously stated that he wanted the airlift of all Americans in Afghanistan and those Afghanis who served as interpreters for US troops to be completed by the troop withdrawal date of August 31st.

Over the last week, the airport has been the scene of some of the most searing images of the chaotic end of America’s longest war and the Taliban’s takeover, as flight after flight took off carrying those who fear a return to the militants’ brutal rule, according to an AP report.

With these bombings, political experts have said that this is the harbinger of things to come during the new Taliban regime as it pertains to the spread of deadly terrorist attacks targeting Americans and Westerners in the region.

Middle East expert and prolific author Phyllis Chesler said, “Biden’s policy has inherited this whirlwind of terror.”
