A suicide bomber has attacked Kabul airport, just hours after officials warned of an 'imminent' ISIS bomb threat, killing at least 13 people and injuring at least three US troops.
The blast was outside The Baron Hotel, at the Abbey Gate of Kabul airport. Westerners were staying in the hotel before their evacuation flights.
At least three US troops were injured. It's unclear if any Americans were killed in the explosion but harrowing scenes show bloodied Afghans being removed from the scene on wheelchairs. One witness reported that a baby was among those killed.
The attack came just hours after officials were warned that ISIS was plotting something against the crowd of Western citizens and allies at the airport.
Now, as many as 1,500 Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan with increasingly bleak options;
Hide in your homes and risk missing the chance to be flown out on one of the last evacuation flights Make a run for the Pakistan border, which is now overrun with Afghans and nearly 200 miles away Go to the airport, where there is a risk being blown up, shot at or getting lost in the crowd Despite the escalating chaos, the US's top diplomat made the astonishing claim on Thursday morning, before the explosion, that it was 'relatively safe' on the ground and people should still be able to make their way there.
Now, Americans in Afghanistan are being told not to go to the airport.

I figured this would eventually happen.
Nothing to see here. The most incompetent admin since Jimmy Carter has
EVERYTHING under control!
According to a guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room that 4 US Marines are being reported as KIA....
Tragically this is just the beginning....
Biden really screwed this up, now it’s his legacy.
Reagan was demonized for exchanging weapons for hostages.
I guess ol’ joe is making up for that by giving afghans weapons AND hostages.
News reporting 4 KIA American soldiers! Probably killed with our very own military stuff left behind. Incompetent fools! And still no resignations.
If anyone has information to the contrary, please feel free to post your evidence.
America running like little girls. NEVER did I EVER think I would live to see this day.
Yea lets bring more of these people to the USA.
Any links?
And Biden will address the nation and talk about the great job he's doing with the Vaxes.
Someone got impatient about receiving his virgins and figured this was his last chance?
Right on schedule.
One on a plane next?, on takeoff or landing?
A second explosion was just reported, apparently at a hotel where Americans were staying at in anticipation of getting out.
New meaning to airport terminal.... Damn them all!
Most Americans alive today never heard of Bataan. Nevertheless they may soon be experiencing another Bataan at Kabul. There has been massive incometence resulting in our remaining troops being at severe risk and unable to safely withdraw. thanks to Biden they are at the mercy and whim of the Taliban jihadists.
And his progress in bankrupting the nation with 3.5 trillion is unnecessary spending.
How does anyone know its “ISIS” or any other group? They can’t even determine if Americans were killed, yet the media already know who did it?
Worse than Carter by far.
It hasn’t even been a year.
