While the Taliban has assured security to Afghans and foreign embassies from their end, they have acknowledged a risk of "nuisances" causing trouble.


ENTER SYRIA. Thanks for opening THAT Syrian door TRUMP!

Senior US officials have reportedly said that the warnings issued by the embassy were related to ongoing threats involving the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan and potential vehicle bombs targeting crowds in and around the Kabul airport.

How is the ISIS-K relationship with the Taliban?

While both groups are hardline Sunni Islamist militants and claim to be the true flag-bearers of jihad, they are sworn enemies who differ on minute details of religion and strategy.
The leaders of ISIS-K rejected the deal between the Taliban and the United States signed in Doha last year.
After Kabul fell to the Taliban, the Islamic State didn’t congratulate the insurgents, unlike other jihadist groups.

According to a report by the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, the strength of ISIS-K could be anywhere between 500 to 10,000. The report suggests that ISIS-K has strengthened its positions in and around Kabul and has formed sleeper cells in many Afghan provinces, including Nuristan, Badghis, Sari Pul, Baghlan, Badakhshan, and Kunduz.

Explains why Biden wanted to get as many out of Afghanistan as possible.
Every terrorist group in the region wants a piece of the pie & once the US is out, (or almost out) they're moving in like vultures & the country of Afghanistan is the roadkill.

Go back to Trump's decision on Syria & the Kurds. This was planned long ago & Trump's personal allies who ordered it directed the operation, while Trump complied. Against US policy.

There are A LOT of complicit players who stepped back & allowed US foreign enemies to call the shots.

Where was our State Dept? Pompeo stepped down from his US role & cashed in as well.

2. Yes. They've never been allies.

Just file this under "details I never considered".

What is ISIS-K?

In 2015, terrorists from the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) joined militants in Afghanistan and pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The suffix ‘Khorasan’ was taken after the historical name for the region which constitutes parts of present-day Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia. The group is notorious for some of the deadliest terror attacks in recent years, targeting mosques, shrines, and even hospitals. In 2020, the terrorists of ISIS-K were responsible for the attacks on a maternity ward run by Doctors Without Border
