Afghans were killed. more than 150 others wounded. at least 13 u.s. service members also died in the attack. an isis affiliate has claimed responsibility for the carnage and the pentagon is warning another attack could happen. >> we have reached out to the taliban. we've told them you -- you need to continue to push out the security perimeter. we've identified some roads that we would like for them to close. they have identified that they will be willing to close those roads because we assessed the threat of a vehicle-born threat is high right now. so we want to reduce the possibility of one o...

Asked to push out the security perimeter to keith a bigger secure area but mckenzie said not all of these taliban fighters can conduct the security checks. the final investigation have to be done by u.s. forces and face to face which introduces an inherent risk to any non-combat operation and certainly one of this size. >> we knew in the last 24 hours there was a heightened threat. buses were lined up outside the airport. not letting anyone in. the biden administration was publicly talking about an explosion that they feared would come from an isis-k terrorist. all they had to do was turn on c...
