A child was killed today in an explosion in Kabul - as a US drone strike took out a vehicle containing 'multiple suicide bombers' driving to the airport just hours after Joe Biden warned of the possibility of another jihadist atrocity following this week's attack.

Two US officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Reuters that American forces launched a strike in the capital city targeting suspected ISIS-K militants who were aiming to attack Hamid Karzai International Airport, where Afghans are trying to flee the Taliban.

A Kabul police chief later claimed that a child had been killed after a rocket struck a house in the Khajeh Baghra area to the north-west of the airport, in what is thought to be a separate incident. Two witnesses said the blast appeared to have been caused by a rocket.

A security official from the recently deposed government told AFP a house was struck. A source at the Afghan Ministry of Health separately told the BBC the blast was near the airport, while two witnesses told Reuters a house north of the airport was struck by a rocket.

There was no official confirmation and no terrorist group immediately claimed the attack. A US official told CBS: 'We are confident we hit the target we were aiming for. Initial reports indicate there were no civilian casualties.' The official added that the drone strike caused 'significant secondary explosions' indicating the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material in the vehicle.

300 American citizens are still waiting to be evacuated from Afghanistan, Blinken reveals, as he warns that 'this is the most dangerous time in an already extraordinarily dangerous mission'

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/08/29/14/47235857-9937539-image-a-7_1630243958875.jpg

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that he would also blame President Joe Biden and military leaders for the death of the 13 U.S. service members in Kabul if he were the parent of one of the fallen



Antony Blinken said Sunday another attack on the Kabul airport is 'highly likely' as he claimed he would also blame the president and military leaders for the deaths of 13 U.S. troops.

'This is very high risk,' the secretary of State told ABC's This Week host Martha Raddatz. 'There is a high likelihood of additional attacks.'

'This is the most dangerous time in an already extraordinarily dangerous mission.'

Blinken's comments come three days after 13 U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul.

The head of the State Department didn't deny that the president was to blame for their deaths.

'There are no words that I can say that, I think, anyone can say to assuage the grief that a parent is feeling at the loss of their child. Nothing,' he told NBC's Meet the Press host Chuck Todd in another interview on Sunday morning.

'And if I were in his shoes, probably I'd feel exactly the same way,' Blinken added.

He is referencing Steve Nikoui, the father of deceased Marine Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, who said: 'Biden turned his back on [my son].'

Blinken responded to that grief by saying: 'All I can do is take responsibility for my own actions and do everything possible to continue to bring people out of Afghanistan who want to leave between now and the 31st, and every single day thereafter. That's my responsibility.'

'But I, as a parent myself, I feel deeply what he expressed,' Blinken said. 'And all I can say is, I'm deeply, deeply sorry.'

Steve Nikoui and Mark Schmitz, the father of fallenMarine Jared Schmitz, both are blaming the Biden administration for their sons' deaths.

Biden is a 'feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap': Mother of Marine killed in Kabul airport attack slams the President as he meets families of the 13 dead troops



The death toll was the highest for any single incident since 2011 and Biden has been accused by some of the troops' families of putting them in harm's way.

McCollum's mom Kathy called into SiriusXM radio show Wilkow Majority on Saturday, and launched a blistering broadside on Biden.

Speaking through tears, she said: 'Hey, my son was one of the marines that died yesterday.


'And I have to listen to that b**ch...20 years and six months old. Getting ready to come home from freaking’ Jordan to be with his wife to watch the birth of his son.

'And that sackless, dementia ridden piece of crap just sent my son to die. I woke up at four o' clock this morning to marines at my door telling me my son was dead.

'So, to have right on before me to have to listen to that piece of crap to talk about diplomatic crap with Taliban terrorists who just freaking blew up my son and no, nothing, to not say anything about … ‘oh my God I’m so sorry for failing

'My son is gone, and I just want all you Democrats who cheated in the election, or who voted for him legitimately, you just killed my son.

'With a dementia ridden piece of crap who doesn’t even know he’s in the White House who still thinks he’s a senator.'

In a statement on Saturday, Biden said: 'The 13 service members that we lost were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our highest American ideals and while saving the lives of others.'

Years ago during the war a British outpost was taken over by the Taliban after the Brits withdrew in a firefight and they captured some SA80s. Not sure if this came from that incident or these were donated to the ANA and looted recently.

If you look closely at the cement wall over to the right you can see the small frag holes made by the bomb. Looks like they used round steel balls in that bomb. Our troops had no chance against that.

You realize that this is the entire government.  That's a revolution. Just so we're on the same page, here.



Happened during the bush and obama years. Sometimes they went, sometimes they didn't. Sometimes families asked them to be there, sometimes they asked them not to be there.

This is off topic, but No. I don't think it has to be a revolution. I think this country could take "restructuring" 1-2 agencies per year with the goal of 6 in 4 years. Like for example the new appointed Director, highers a crew of new people to do a audit and than go over applications and recruit. Then just lay off EVERYONE but this small crew to rebuild that agency. Like with the FBI, recruit and rebuild it with people from Sheriff departments across the nation. aka we need a couple of your deputies for 5 years. And make everything a limited term of service. Ditch the whole working in the same place for there entire life trying to effect change. No you go to the federal gov to serve and then you go home. Connect the fed more to the states, give the states more power.

  It's something I am pissed at Trump over, he didn't even try to restructure ONE agency in his 4 years.  If he would have done the State Dept, we might not be in this mess right now, or it might be different or maybe even worse (sometimes my ideas aren't the best).

  BUT sadly I don't think this will ever happen, history shows that commie takeovers normally end in a revolution or the train cars, or both.... I just like to dream and hope that things can be salvaged and we will still have the Republic we know and love.
