The Daesh group claimed responsibility for an attack outside Kabul airport on Thursday, the group’s Amaq News Agency said on its Telegram channel.
Two bomb blasts outside Kabul airport killed at least 72 people, according to US and Afghan officials.
An Afghan official said at least 60 Afghans were killed and another 143 were wounded in the attack. US officials said 12 military service members were also killed in the attack outside the airport.
The US general overseeing the evacuation from Afghanistan said the United States will “go after” the perpetrators of the Kabul airport attacks if they can be found.
Gen. Frank McKenzie said the attacks on Thursday were believed to have been carried out by fighters associated with the Daesh group’s Afghanistan affiliate.
He said the attacks, which killed 12 US service members, would not stop the United States from continuing its evacuation of Americans and others. McKenzie warned there are still “extremely active” security threats at the airport in the Afghan capital.
“We expect these attacks to continue,” he said, adding that Taliban commanders have been asked to take additional security measures to prevent another suicide bombing on the airport’s perimeter. He said he sees no indication that the Taliban allowed Thursday’s attacks to happen.
Also Thursday, Defense Secretary LLoyd Austin suggested the evacuation will go on and expressed his “deepest condolences to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and wounded in Kabul today”.
“Terrorists took their lives at the very moment these troops were trying to save the lives of others,” he said. “We mourn their loss. We will treat their wounds. And we will support their families in what will most assuredly be devastating grief. But we will not be dissuaded from the task at hand.”
“To do anything less — especially now — would dishonour the purpose and sacrifice these men and women have rendered our country and the people of Afghanistan,” the statement also said.
