US launches airstrike against Islamic State 'attack planner' in Afghanistan after deadly Kabul blasts

India Today  

Less than 48 hours after incidents of suicide bombing rocked the evacuation process at the Kabul airport, the US military conducted a drone strike against an Islamic State member believed to be involved in future attacks, according to a report by Reuters. On Thursday, a devastating suicide bombing claimed by ISIS-Khorasan had killed as many as 170 Afghans and 13 American service members at the Kabul airport. However, it wasn't immediately known if the ISIS-K planner was involved in Thursday's Kabul airport attack. Following the airstrike, the US Embassy in Kabul issued a security alert for its citizens at the Kabul airport, asking them to immediately leave the Abbey gate, East gate, North gate or the New Ministry of Interior gate.
