Following recent developments in Afghanistan, US President Joe Biden said he was told by military leaders that an attack was very likely between the next 24 and 36 hours on Kabul airport.

This, Biden recalled: "The situation on the ground remains extremely serious, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our leaders told me that an attack is very likely within the next 24-36 hours. "

He added: "I directed them to take every possible action to prioritize the protection of force, and made sure that they had all the powers, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did. "

Biden said in the statement that he discussed the strike last night by American forces against the terrorist ISIS in Afghanistan.

He added: "I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack on our forces and innocent civilians in Kabul, and we did so."

He continued: "This wasn't the last hit. We will continue to hunt down anyone involved in this heinous attack and make him pay. When anyone seeks to harm the United States or attack our troops, we will respond. It's not going to be in doubt. "
