Ten US troops among 60 killed and 140 injured in ‘ISIS’ suicide bomb attacks at Kabul airport

A British defence source told Sky News it is "highly likely" the affiliate of the so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan - ISIS-K - was responsible for the attacks.after the "despicable" attack.

A UK government spokesperson said: "We are working urgently to establish what has happened and its impact on the ongoing evacuation effort. NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said allied forces should continue to evacuate as many vulnerable people as they can from Kabul despite what he branded as a "horrific terrorist attack".Last night the UK and US warned of a possible terror attack as militants take advantage of the chaos in Kabul as thousands try to get to the airport and on flights to get out of the area.The plane was not damaged in the incident, a source at Italy's Defence Ministry said.

"And we wouldn't be saying this if we weren't genuinely concerned about offering Islamic State a target."He told LBC: "I was given lines today for what might happen if the attack happened while I was doing this media round." And Colonel Richard Kemp, former head of British forces in Afghanistan, said the threat of a terror attack at the airport "has existed right the way from when this evacuation began".
