Washington: Chasing a member of the United States service that was killed in attacks outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Thursday “hero”, President Joe Biden warned the attackers that America would make them “pay” for it.
“We will not forgive.
We will not forget.
We will hunt you up and make you pay,” Biden, apparently close to tears, warned the attackers while talking to the nation from the White House on Thursday (local time).
Biden said US forces were “involved in a mission that was dangerous and not selfish to save the lives of others”.
At least a dozen members of US services were killed, in addition to around 60 Afghanistan, while scores were injured in twin suicide bombings Thursday.
The affiliate of the Islamic State in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Biden said the US in Afghanistan would “respond with strength and precision”.
“If the military needs additional strength, I will give it,” he said.
However, he added that there were no signs of “collusion” between the Taliban and the Islamic State in the attack.
On the other hand he admitted that the Taliban was “not a good person”, added it in their interest that the US went on time and on target.
Biden also reaffirmed the deadline for the forces of August 31 from Afghanistan.
“We will save Americans from Afghanistan.
We will issue our Afghan ally and our mission will continue,” said the US President.
Two suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the group’s crowd to Kabul Airport on Thursday.
One of the bombers crashed into people who stood far in the waste water channel under the hot sun, threw the body into the fetid water.
