US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns of Islamic State attack in Kabul

After abandoning Afghanistan and paving way for the Taliban’s accession to power at Kabul, the United States government has now raised concerns over a possible Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist attack in Kabul. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the threat of an Islamic State attack in Kabul is a "very real possibility."  

"It's hard to state the complexity and the danger of this effort. We are operating in a hostile environment and the city is now controlled by the Taliban with the very real possibility of an ISIS-K attack," said Antony Blinken  

"We are taking every precaution but this is a very high risk," Blinken added
