Biden The people behind the attack have been warned acceptanceAirport: “We will not forgive, we will not forget, we will hunt you down and make you pay.”
On Thursday, the President of the United States killed at least 72 people, including 12 American service personnel, after two bombings and gun battles outside the airport, after which he addressed the country.
About 143 people, including 15 American personnel, were injured in the attack. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for this.
President Biden attributed the attack on Kabul Airport to Isis-K, the so-called affiliate of the Islamic State of Afghanistan.
At the press conference, he said that the US intelligence community had assessed that the attack was carried out by Isis-K.
He said: “The intelligence community has assessed… an attack by an organization called Isis-K took the lives of American soldiers standing guard at the airport and severely injured several others.”
He added: “With regard to finding and tracking the ISIS leaders who ordered this operation, we have reason to believe that we know who they are. We are not sure. We will find the method of our choice without the need for large-scale military operations. Take it anywhere.”
Mr. Biden said that the Americans who lost their lives in the attack were “heroes,” and they “engaged in a dangerous and selfless mission to save the lives of others.”
