President Joe Biden warned on Saturday that it was "highly likely" the Kabul airport -- the scene of an attack on Thursday that left nearly 200 people dead -- would see another attack in the next 24 to 36 hours. The president's statement came the same day the Pentagon identified all 13 U.S. service members killed in the airport attack by ISIS-K and announced that a retaliatory drone strike on the group had killed two members and wounded one, up from the previous tally of one death. The 13 service members included 11 Marines, one Navy corpsman and one Army soldier. At least 169 Afghans were also killed in the airport bombing, for which President Joe Biden had vowed revenge. And with only three days left until Biden's Aug. 31 withdrawal, evacuations continued for Americans, Afghan allies and others seeking to escape the rule of the fundamentalist Taliban, even as many acknowledged the window to be airlifted out was closing. #afghanistan #news
