“We are convinced of their desire to continue these attacks,” said McKenzie, who heads the US Central Command, which includes Afghanistan.
–
In addition to suicide bombers with explosives on their bodies, attacks can occur with cars loaded with explosives or mortar shells fired at airport airports.
–
McKenzie added that these threats are current and that “an attack could occur at any time.”
–
The general also described security measures, which include better security of the airport border and the deployment of anti-missile systems, which can be used against mortar shells fired.
–
The sharing of some information with Taliban commanders at checkpoints en route to the airport is also intended to ensure security.
–
Thirty Taliban members were also killed in the attack. The Islamic State of Croatia has considered the Taliban apostates, so it can attack them. The reason is that they do not enforce Sharia law so consistently because they have exchanged jihad for the opportunity to rule the country.

He condemned not only the declaration of the emirate, but also the Taliban talks with the Americans, which led to the conclusion of a peace agreement on the withdrawal of foreign troops.

The Taliban will primarily fight the newly formed offshoots of IS in Afghanistan because it sees them as a threat to its power.
–
However, even timely information about the threat of an attack may not be enough to prevent it, because there is a crowd at the airport in which suicide bombers are easily lost in the body.
–
The general also confirmed that the attacks were indeed due to the Islamic State, which joined them. He mentioned that the US would go after the perpetrators. That’s what US President Joe Biden said.
–
It is not yet clear how many victims the attack claimed. The Afghan Ministry of Health said that more than 90 victims were killed, but it is not clear whether 13 dead American soldiers are included in them. More than 150 are injured.
