an italian-run hospital in the city has admitted 60 injured and 6 dead from the attacks that the pentagon said was most likely conducted by isis-k. the taliban condemn the murders and pledged to find and punish those behind it. the blasts were just outside abbey gates, one of the main entrances to the airport and near a hotel controlled and occupied until recently by british forces. it's in an area that's been packed for days with afghans wading through sewage canals browned by blast walls. those conditions will surely have amplified the explosion. american officials have been warning about potential isis-k attacks for days. on wednesday they stepped up the alarm talking about a very specific threat stream from isis-k about a planned attack on crowds outside airports. >> the threat is real. it is acute. it is persistent, and it is something that we are focused on with every tool in our arsenal.
