28 of the #Taliban were killed in the attack at #Kabul airport yesterday. #Afghanistan.

Islamic State in Afghanistan calls itself the "Khorasan Welayat" (ISIS-K) claimed the responsibility: one suicide bomber got within 5 meters’ of #US troops, careless about the #Afghan civilians, always considered by ISIS-K as "collateral damage".

The two locations targeted in the bombings were as fellow: The 1st explosion took place at the Abbey Gate of #Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport, where US troops were screening Afghans for evacuation. The 2d at the nearby Baron Hotel, where many people gathered.

The explosion was bigger than one person carrying only a vest suicide belt but additional explosions must have been carried in a travel bag or similar.
#ISIS learned to send two terrorists with a fair distance to avoid the death of the second terrorist by the first explosion.

The chaos created by the sudden departure of the #US and @NATO forces and the urgent calls for an immediate evacuation of all foreigners and Afghan collaborators caused the gathering of tens of thousands of people at the airport with no organisation or thoughts about the security

#US and @NATO occupied #Afghanistan for 20 years and were aware of the similar danger. They have offered a golden opportunity for terrorists to attack and kill a large number of civilian Afghans (49) and a smaller number of #Taliban (28) and US military servicemen (13).

#US is cornered: seek revenge against #ISIS or evacuate all westerners & part of the collaborators. The #Taliban gave a deadline on the 31st of August as a final evacuation date.

Expect from the moment the last plane leaves #Kabul, the US will hit an #ISIS target in #Afghanistan

#US can't hit any target for fear of #Taliban reaction and cessation of the evacuation.

Following the Us attack on an #ISIS Khorasan, the question is:

Will it be an attack against #ISIS? If yes, why the US didn't bomb the terrorist group in the years of occupation?

If the #US knew about a potential attack, through intelligence sources, why the menace was not intercepted and eliminated before?

The day the Us will bomb #Aghanistan again, it will create a problem coz it means it is violating the country's sovereignty and #Taliban will react.

So expect @JoeBiden to announce the bombing of #Afghanistan, again, to polish his image following the chaos his unprepared boys created:

"Those who kill our boys won't go unpunished".

Taliban said it will hunt down the responsible but the US like the action. A never-ending saga

A lesson to remember:

The #US said it went to #Afghanistan to restore peace and defeat terrorism.

The results: #Taliban back in control; no peace and terrorists are attacking again.

It took the world 20 years to realise that occupation is useless and damaging.

What @NATO offered to the #Taliban to help thwarting the terrorist attack?

Is the Taliban equipped with adequate machines and dogs to identify explosives, control bags, and individuals?

More on the attack and #ISIS in my forthcoming article.

#BreakingNews:

The new count of death by #ISIS suicide attacks at #Kabul has reached 170 of which 157 Afghani, among these women and children #Afghanistan.

Understand the boomerang effect.

Who contributed to the creation of #ISIS-Khorasan?

Those who supported the war in #Syria and wanted to divide #Iraq are the same who helped to create Takfiri, thinking they can control them at the end of the day, once President Assad is toppled.
