Joe Biden said today in a statement that another terrorist attack in Kabul is “highly likely” in the next 24-36 hours:
The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high. Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours. I directed them to take every possible measure to prioritize force protection, and ensured that they have all the authorities, resources and plans to protect our men and women on the ground. They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel.
I looked for any more info on this from other sources, but came up with nil. I just hope that we are more prepared this time and we don’t lose any more of our service members.
Speaking of, here are the deceased heroes who have been named from the attack on Thursday. Let’s not forget who their names:
Max Soviak, Navy medic
Kareem Nikoui, Marine
David Lee Espinoza, Marine
Rylee McCollum, Marine
Jared Schmitz, MarineRemember their names.
Rest In Peace, brothers. pic.twitter.com/S8hdoCIXAP— Rep. Dan Crenshaw (@RepDanCrenshaw) August 27, 2021
