Following a two-week scurry by Washington and its allies to evacuate citizens and at-risk Afghans, US President Joe Biden warned on Saturday that another militant attack was highly likely.


The United States said it killed two Islamic State militants planning attacks in Afghanistan after a deadly suicide bombing outside the airport on Thursday, as it neared the end of its military participation in the nation with the Taliban insurgents it expelled 20 years ago regaining power.

As US forces wind down their mission before a Tuesday deadline set by Biden, American officials warned of a high potential of additional assaults by the organization, which is foes of both the West and Afghanistan's new Taliban government.
