Kabul Airport Explosions Kill Four U.S. Marines, at Least 60 Afghans
Numerous Afghans seeking evacuation flights killed in blasts that followed warnings of possible Islamic State attack
Not a surprise. Guessing that IS-K took advantage of the chaos of the past few weeks to strike a blow.
Black eye to the Taliban.
ANA didn't like them. Taliban doesn't like them. Northern Alliance didn't like them. The US doesn't like them.
(Between 2015 and 2018 IIRC the US took out three or four of their leaders with air strikes).
The Taliban have just been told:
you haven't won yet.
