Page 5 - Isisk Attack News Today

Here in the process that we saw the isis-k attack occur yesterday. we dont have additional information to suggest it was -- you know, intentional or anything along those lines. a question asked yesterday but clearly there was a break in the security process here. theres no question about that. >> one more follow up on that. can officials be this definitive of the security threats faced anywhere in the world but this is something the president pointed to -- a deadline. is there a tangible differe...

Making sure that where the american military and civilians are headed that that is the area thats secure. it doesnt mean that the u.s. military doesnt have the capability, the capacity to carry out a strike, the question is, will they have the intelligence to actually go after some of the people who may have carried out this attack yesterday. >> so what does this mean for the august 31st deadline from the pentagon perspective, which is now four days away. people say we have to get out on the 31s...

Inherent danger, just to be participating in the process. im talking about our citizens and our afghan partners. but this will come to an end on the 31st. the president has made up his mind thats it. when we leave afghanistan, given implication what has taken place here, taliban takeover, didnt set conditions in place to prevent, we now know the u.n. is reporting somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 to 10,000 terrorists in afghan, beyond the taliban. we have said this is going to become an epicent...

This kind of attack which they knew was a real possibility has been a big part of why hes committed to limit this operation and get out as soon as possible. i am also struck by his simultaneous and now-repeated commitment that we wont leave anyone behind. i mean, all of those things are -- are coming together into what feels like a very difficult decision tree about to do, hour by hour and day by day. what -- what do you hope to happen here? balancing those risks and the -- and the commitments t...

Theyre part of a great noble company of american heroes. to those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes america harm, know this. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down and make you pay. ill defend our interests and our people with every measure at my command. >> president biden vowing the united states will retaliate against the terrorists responsible for yesterdays attacks in afghanistan in what was the deadliest day for the u.s. military in more than...

Suicide bombs today detonated. exactly as that warning from the kabul embassy said it would. and while the days-long crush of humanity bottlenecked at the gates of the airport has been an obvious soft target for a potential suicide bombing or some other kind of attack for days now. how did the u.s. have intel that clear about the location and the timing of the threat when u.s. persons needed to be told to leave immediately, how did they know when and where? were going to talk about that importan...

Is doubly tragic in that sense. and i think that you saw that, you know, very human reaction yesterday on the part of a president, but especially this one who has seen it upclose. >> the deadliest day for the american military in a decade in afghanistan yet the planes where taking off and landing from the very airport that 13 service members were killed. peter baker and john hudson, thank you both. still ahead on "morning joe." the capital police officer who shot and killed a woman during the ...

I want to share your comments which were sadly prescient with our audience. >> they dont really hold territory and theyve been reduced but they can execute an attack at the airport or against any sort of western target or the taliban and create some sort of a quagmire which would bring the u.s. and the taliban back into conflict. >> you were talking of course there about isis-k, the organization a lot of americans are hearing about for all the wrong reasons for the first time. and clint, talk pe...

Theres virtually no standoff. so when it comes to that moment of people coming through, u.s. troops have to actually check them according to the pentagon. they have to be right next to them. so if someone gets through, the ability for a bomb blast to have tremendous impact is really right there. what do they do going forward from here? well, thats really the challenge. what they have to do is figure out some way to manage that passthrough while they deal with, still, a lot of people. remember, w...

Hundreds of -- over 2400 have given their lives. and this was a tragic day. no doubt about that. at the same time, we need to make sure we are having the tough conversation, that we are having right now, as a matter of fact. but why we have done this. why we are 20 years in the making. this is not a one-week problem, this is not a one month problem. this is a 20 year problem for our country. >> i am struck tonight by the explicitness of the recent warnings we have had from u.s. officials about a...
