US President Joe Biden has sent a strong message to the terrorists that struck Kabul airport, stating “we will hunt you down”

Fronting a press conference, an emotional President Biden vowed that the United States would commit to hunting down those responsible for the twin explosion massacre at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport.

President Biden has requested that the Pentagon develop plans to strike back at those responsible, by conducting what’s understood to be air strikes.

Biden spoke hours after the blasts killed at least a dozen American troops and multiple locals, making the incident the worst day of casualties for U.S. forces in Afghanistan in a decade.

Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), an affiliate of militants who previously battled U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack

Biden vowed that the US will be strong.

The president promised that evacuations will continue out of Afghanistan, as he appeared to hold back tears.

More than 60 people have died following coordinated terrorist attacks in and around Kabul’s major international airport.

In a statement, the US Secretary of Defence Llyod Austin says: “on behalf of the men and women at the Department I express my deepest condolences to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and wounded in Kabul today.”
