US airstrike kills two masterminds in 6 hours of Kabul airport attack

(PTI) Washington, Dt

The United States called for an end to the mastermind of the attack by launching a drone strike in Afghanistan within six hours of the attack on Kabul airport. The U.S. dropped a powerful drone bomb on Islamic State-Khorasan militants in Afghanistan's Nagarhar province, blowing up the rags of the terrorist and digging his grave there. The bomb was so powerful that it fell into a large hole. On the other hand, two days after the blast at Kabul airport, a shooting took place at the airport's entrance gate on Saturday and a huge chaos spread as tear gas shells were also fired.

The Islamic State's deadly module carried out two suicide bombings outside Kabul airport on Thursday, killing more than 200 people, including 12 American soldiers and more than 150 Afghan civilians. After the attack, US President Joe Biden warned the terrorists that we will not forget the attack and will not forgive you. We will find and kill one terrorist. Within hours of his warning, the United States announced on Saturday morning that there were "early indications" that we had killed the mastermind of the Kabul attack and that no civilians had been injured.

Afghanistan's news agency Aswaka News has also released photos of the site of the drone strike. The attack took place in Kala-e-Nagarki in Nagarhar province. The pictures show a burnt car and a building. A large pit has been dug where the bomb fell. The White House says President Biden does not want the terrorists who plotted the attack on Kabul airport to live long on this earth. The White House added that intelligence agencies had told President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that more attacks on Kabul airport were possible. However, security forces are on high alert at Kabul airport.

Meanwhile, two days after the bomb blast at Kabul airport, there was another indiscriminate firing near the entry gate of Kabul airport on Saturday. Tear gas shells were also fired. The incident was followed by a chaotic situation on the spot and panic among the people. However, no clear information was available about the shooters and the casualties. The Taliban, on the other hand, has tightened its grip on areas near the airport to prevent people from gathering outside the airport, as well as setting up new checkpoints on roads leading to the airport. At some checkpoints, the Taliban have deployed Taliban fighters with night vision goggles and hummus seized from Afghan security forces.

Meanwhile in Kabul several protesters including several government employees gathered outside a bank and staged a protest. The protesters said they had not been paid for three to six months. ATM machines are also empty. Faced with the economic crisis, Afghanistan has set a limit of ડો 500 a day for ATM withdrawals. According to a report by the UN World Food Program earlier this month, one in three Afghans in Afghanistan needs food aid. Afghanistan is currently facing starvation. In a war-torn country, more than 1.5 million people are in need of help.
