Washington: US President Joe Biden warned on Sunday that another suicide bomb attack was highly likely amid the final phase of the US military’s airlift operation are underway in Kabul.
Over 112,000 people have fled Afghanistan via the massive US-led airlift operation after the Taliban movement swept back into power barely a fortnight ago. The US is about to end operation despite Western powers saying thousands may still be left behind.
The chaotic and desperate evacuation bid turned bloody on Thursday when a suicide bomber from the Islamic State group’s local chapter targeted the US troops denying huge crowds from entering the Kabul airport.
Over 100 people died in the attack, including 13 US service personnel. This slowed down the airlifts as Biden’s deadline for evacuations to end by Tuesday.
“The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high,” Biden was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
