3:03 am
thousands of people around to couple airports is a suitable location for these attackers. this is, in fact a security mis handling a big error from their part and a big mistake. we've warned the foreign forces several times of the repercussions of large gathering around the airport. common carriers i international airport is where thousands of people have been gathering desperately hoping to flee western i've gotten on western countries have been using the airports to evacuate their citizens, their troops, as well as their afghan allies, troll stratford, reports and the african capital must be lindsey's rush through the streets to collect the wounded bodies are lifted on to stretches. the 2 attacks by suicide bombers happened close to the abbey gate entrance to cobble airport, yet the power of hotel. he was a sudden explosion. we climbed out and saw that there were many people effected people were held everywhere their brains with scattered. there were also foreign forces who were fall. i saw at least 4 or 500 people there. the explosion was
3:04 am
really powerful. half were held into the water, others on the ground outside. we carried the wounded here on stretches, and here my clothes completely bloody. the bower hotel is controlled by the u. k and they 2 forces. it is one of the places where tens of thousands of afghans had been gathering out of the taliban took control of cobble on august, the 15th. they'd be going there to have their papers processed before being evacuated out of the country. western governments and security experts in cobble had be warning about a potential attacks around the airport for days. the taliban told al jazeera, it had intelligence about potential car bombs in the area, and also people to stay away. an increasing number of nato countries have already announced the halt to their evacuation operations. and these attacks jeopardize remaining flights. meaning many afghans who want to leave the country and they have
3:05 am
all the necessary documents to do so, could be left behind. it's all about condemned the attacks and bound to bring the perpetrators to justice, the suicide bombings, like these not dissimilar to those that the tolerable, unused against what it often described as foreign invaders. show just the kind of security challenges the movement faces. charles, rafa al jazeera cobble. let's cross over to gabriel is on though he's joining us from washington d. c. to talk more about what the president has to say earlier this evening and bite and said that the attack will not deter the u. s. what more did he have to say about this? yeah, he basically said that this would not deter them. as you mentioned, this would not deter the united states and they would continue on with this august 31st deadline to complete this evacuation mission. if you will, of us citizens, an afghan partners within the country, there was some speculation that this might cause biden to pull out even sooner.
3:06 am
clearly by giving the occasion that would not be the case. he also pointed the finger directly at iso k, you know, saying that the intelligence agencies even think they know who might have identified who actually ordered this attack. and he said that he has ordered his military to give him some options on retaliatory strikes. where, how, when, no information of that on that of course, but by and clearly given the indication that he is ready to take a retaliatory action against iso k. listen to a little bit more of what joe biden had to say to those who carried out this attack . as well as anyone who wishes america harm. no, this, we will not forgive. we will not forget. we
3:07 am
will hunt you down to make you pay. how defend our interest in our people would every measure might command an cobra coordination with the taliban? seems to be key here. well, this us cooperation continue until after august 31st. nobody knows the answer. the question and the administration is saying, we'll see basically it's clear joe biden, and the administration both said they're upset with one voice. do they trust the taliban? no. do they feel they can at least work with the taliban? at least in the short term from now until august. 31st. yes. why? because according joe biden and other administration officials, they both have mutual interest both meaning the united states and the taliban. united states interest is t. have the taliban help protect the outer rim of the cobble airport?
3:08 am
that's the interest of the united states to work with the taliban to help get the taliban maybe get facilitate, getting americans and african a partners to the airport. what's the benefit or the motivation of the taliban? they want the us out as soon as possible. so the sooner they, the more they work with the united states, the sooner the united states probably get out of the airport and turns over the airport to the taliban. so that's where the administration stands on that in terms of latest numbers, i will say that the department of point 10, as you mentioned, the death toll now 13 us service members and the injury report was 15. those injured. now that has gone up to 18 unclear on their conditions. also, the white house is telling us with the last half hour or so that in the last 24 hours, they have evacuated. 7500 people 5100, were taken out by the us military, 2400 people taken out of
3:09 am
a couple airport by coalition aircraft. so the evacuation mission continues and the latest numbers on how many americans are taught to be still in afghanistan. that is thought to be about $1000.00. the white house press secretary saying that of those 1000 us citizens about 2 thirds of them. the u. s. officials have contact with but just have not got them to the airport to get them out of the country yet. ok, thank you so much. kimberly alexander. so what more do we know about the iso affiliate, known as i thought her son, which is claimed responsibility for the attack. the arm group was formed in 2014 by break away fighters of pakistani taliban and fighters from have got a son who pledged allegiance to the late ice, a leader of a bucklin bus. daddy correson is a historic region which comprise parts of iran. i've got a son and pakistan on ice ok has been responsible for some of the worst attacks.
3:10 am
and i've got to stand in pakistan and recent years, killing people at mosques, public squares, and even hospitals, including a rampage at a maternity ward in capital. they're also adversary's of the taliban with different teachings of strict dislike beliefs. i saw has been highly critical if any cooperation between the taliban in washington, including deals to withdraw foreign troops accusing the taliban of being a pos states secret. puget, currently has a former us assistant secretary of state for public affairs in the former us national security council spokesperson. he's joining us from alexandria in virginia via skype. thanks for speaking to us again. what do you think the game is for iso? what are they ultimately once and i've gone, it's done well, i think what they want is power, influence and money. you know, they're situated close to the app can drug trade. and that obviously is very, very profitable. in terms of, of drugs moving outside of afghanistan,
3:11 am
you know, and if the ology is a part of this, as you said, you know, they have a strictly, or strict are codex that even al qaeda and the taller bottom of it. so on the one hand, we have a mix of motives. on the other hand, the only number a couple of 1000, you know, and, and as we've seen, you know, across conflict in afghanistan over the years. there's always spend your movement of people, you know, with this allegiance and coalition, one time, this leeches and coalition. and other times i think this will be a major test. you know, for the taller bomb, can they shift gears from running a successful insurgency, to running a government and actually controlling territory? they've been responsible for a number of tax over the past few few years or so. i mean, was it just
3:12 am
a matter of time before the taliban or whoever was going to run of galveston would have to deal with a group like i saw clearly the taller bon will have to deal with i so you know, going forward. yes, i think you're right it, you know, given the of the vacuum that was created by the collapse of the afghan government, the military and the impending departure of us and coalition forces, you know, i, so how successfully in this particular case, you know, moved into that vacuum and successfully struck, you know, the united states and the process. you're embarrassed that all of them that said their, their capabilities are, they have a presence that can make their presence known. but i'm not sure they're necessarily
3:13 am
going to be able to pull off, you know, the kind of of islam estate you know, that we saw in syria and iraq a few years ago. let me ask you this. i mean, just about 24 hours ago, you had the u. s. first and foremost, followed by other countries, war and citizens to stay away from cobble airport and stay away from the vicinity. because there was a real threat of an attack taking place fast forward to 24 hours and 2 attacks took place today. so how do you explain that right? there was this intelligence by the us. the attack took place, but there were still a large number of people in the vicinity, and we now have 13 service men and women killed in afghanistan as well as 60 plus off guns. well, i think as general mckenzie explained this afternoon, you know, he did a good job of helping us understand just how personal your operations are
3:14 am
at the, at the airport. and the one hand, you know, you do have a security wall. but on the other hand of the beyond that while you've got this buffer zone, you've got the collection of people who then have to be physically searched, you'll have their credentials checked. and so, there just isn't the opportunity to create, you know, a, a court of sanitary, the military would call it, you know, which, which, you know then then protects the troops, you know, this is, this is the very nature of this kind of, of messy operation. the of the, the distances between military forces taller bond and the likes of the mom estates are only a matter of a few yards. right. but the taliban said, speaking challenges there are the taliban said that we had warned the foreign forces of repercussions of large gatherings at cobble airport. well sure, and the islamic state is going to claim this is
3:15 am
a great victory. the tall about is pointing a finger at the united states saying if the occupation forces were not there, this would not happen. the united states is going to withdraw from afghanistan in the coming days. and we'll have to find, you know, another way, maybe in concert with the taller bob ups up striking the islamic state forces who are responsible as attack and tried over time. you know, to minimize the impact they can have enough ghana, stan, and elsewhere in the region. ok, thank you so much project currently for speaking to us from virginia. you're welcome. still ahead on i'll just peruse congress debates on whether to confirm a new left as cabinet why rejection could potentially throw the country into political crisis. but 11 on health system on life support medicine is being hoarded, leaving the most vulnerable without treatment. ah,

3:18 am
a resilient memory is our homeland. and now she's era. oh the me. hello again. the top stories on al jazeera job. i didn't call the u. s. service personnel killed in the trying to toxic cobble airport heroes. and vows to make those responsible pay for bite and insist that the evacuation of americans and afghans will continue the are improve ice ok has claimed responsibility for the twin bloss. as many as 60 people, including 13 american military personnel and killed the taliban, has condemned the hon. care as i international airport, is where thousands of people have been gathering desperately hoping to flee of done
3:19 am
this on. western countries have been using the airports to evacuate their citizens troops, and i've done life. well, there's been international condemnation following the attacks. the french president, somebody on my call promised to continue working with the us to evacuate those trying to flee. i've got a son. you don't that don't show multiple. it is obvious that the tension is increasing greatly. so we have all known the risk since the beginning, considering the confusion, cobble, and potential that has been there since the beginning of the military airport. the next i was, will remain extremely dangerous in cobble and of the airport. it is, the security situation is not under control. so we will keep with our allies in particular, our american allies, within a discussion which has been developing about the airports. we will do everything we can to evacuate french, nationals and some africans. the german chancellor anglo merkel has described the attacks as her rendez to can on each other. and so we don't know all the details,
3:20 am
but the terrorists were targeting people waiting outside the airport gates, hoping to leave. they want security and freedom for themselves, and therefore this is an absolutely horrendous attack in a very, very tense situation. and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. my toners at the united nations where the un secretary general condemned the attacks in couple. the security council continued with its previously shuttled meeting on the tea gray region of ethiopia, but speaker after speaker began by expressing anger at the taxing couple and expressing condolences for the families of those killed. the secretary general will be holding a meeting with the 5 permanent members of the security council on monday. and on his way into address today's meeting. this is what he had to say. first of all, i'd like to express in the strongest possible way my total condemnation
3:21 am
about the or refill terrorist attack in coupled to send my condolences to the families of all those that perished africans and those that's what hoping they're the african since died serving the lives of others earlier, the un spokesman confirmed that there had been no you in casualties in the couple bombings. and he said as well that the us would continue with operations in a bit to relieve the mounting humanitarian crisis. as a taliban becomes the government of afghanistan and that's presenting one very modern problem, social media. some platforms have bound them while others are scrambling to figure out what to do. phil laval, reports for presidents to pop stars to princes. social media is the mouthpiece of choice. now the taliban once in to the group has changed a whole lot. 20 years ago they've been the internet now. you can't get them
3:22 am
off it. they have been embracing social media to an extraordinary degree in kabul, the digital revolution becoming clear. selfies with fighters taliban wearing smart watches as they try to project a more modern approach. or we may have the same rights. they're going to be working shoulder to shoulder with us in a country that has changed so much. what is the payoff strategy here? like, what is it the taliban is trying to achieve? how are they doing it? have they thought it out? you think it's very sophisticated, they are trying to message internally and externally they have been apparently lying in wait, ready to do this. there have been accounts that were on sites where they are supposed to be banned, that have sprung up immediately. the conundrum here is pretty clear. allow the taliban on social media, but then give them a platform, give them legitimacy, or remove them. but then you're effectively banning an entire government. this is a real headache. the social media companies. the tyler bonds officially been banned
3:23 am
from facebook for years designated a dangerous organisation, tick tock to it says it considers the group a quote, terrorist organization and youtube because it's on the us. sanctions list messaging apps like whatsapp signal and telegram a private and encrypted that makes them more complicated. switzer meanwhile, well the taliban spokesman a pay is to be on there. for now. he's got 300000 followers, although no verified. blue take. i speaking of twitter that brings us to this place, the u. s. capital, remember what happened? hey, back in january, the man, some accused of inciting, this was kicked off twitter and facebook leading to questions and conversations about freedom of speech. and now we find ourselves in the situation where the hell plan is treating away. and yet a former us president is banned. that's going to be controversial, right? yes, it is controversial. i mean, it is such a difficult argument to make these social media networks have not really figured
3:24 am
out what is one standard you only commonality has been if you're inciting violence, then there is some grounds to ban you from a site. only 11 percent of off janice done had internet access at last count. that is 11 percent more than 2001. but suggests that a lot of what the tell about putting on line is not the afghans. it's for an international audience. unfortunately, the power has been able to master the use of social media, not just in terms of projecting its messages and propaganda, but also it is, it is use social media, it is exploited. social media for purposes of recruitment as well. and so taliban 2 point. oh grows, it's reach online and on the ground. some sites now offering tools for afghans to lock their profiles instantly in case they put them at risk. the taliban site no need. they've changed almost. i hate to say it like a rebranding. many don't believe them. they will have to convince the tech companies as well as the rest of the world. phil laval al jazeera washington. let's
