islamic state claimed responsibility for the attacks. us military says it will continue the evacuation of americans and afghans and hold the attackers accountable. hours before the explosions, western officials warned of a credible threat to kabul airport by an affiliate of islamic state. a warning, this report from our chief international correspondent lyse doucet contains distressing images. the feared attack, a bombing forewarned. casualties rushed yet again into kabul�*s emergency hospital. and they wait for more injured to arrive, the victims of a double suicide bombing close to kabul airport. this man was there. translation: i saw at least 400 to 500 people there. i the explosion was really powerful. half were hurled into the water, others on the ground outside. we carried the wounded on stretchers and, here, my clothes are completely bloodied. the wounded shoved into wheelbarrows, the afghans who were hoping to be on an aeroplane today, flying out to a safer place. this country's endless war shattered that dream. the islamic state

that is negotiating with radical islam, america. the taliban was radical islam that supported al qaeda. host: should joe biden have declared that deal null and void and started over with his own policy? caller: his policy was already set by the presidency. when the president signs these documents, unfortunately, you have to honor some of the administration's positions. trump knew what they were doing when they negotiated that deal with the taliban. they knew this was going to happen. trump is not stupid. he is a very intelligent man and knew what he was doing when he signed the deal with the taliban, radical islam. go back to him first coding --going to saudi arabia and putting his hand on the globe, a symbol of world domination, which taliban and saudi arabia and radical islam supports. trump was showing that support to radical islam, when joe biden went to europe on his first trip , that was his declaring that he was not following trump, the previous administration's policy. host: lawrence, kansas, patrick is next, democrats line.

if the islamic state was able to do this -- the reality is the islamic state is the islamic state asor player in afghanistan. it is the taliban and its allies were the primary threat. the islamic state is a tertiary threat. they do have the capability to do this and this one's firefighters throughout the world. alix: i'm asking you to speculate, but based on your knowledge of what is going on the ground, what would -- who was the target of the two bombs we saw and in that case where else can we be worried? bill: i think the target of this attack is to disrupt -- this is the islamic state. they want to kill as many americans and foreigners as possible. if it is another group, if it is the taliban or allied to the taliban, i think the purpose of that attack is to -- i think this entire effort, the chaos in kabul is orchestrated by the taliban to maximize the chaos and humiliation for the u.s. and western allies. if it was conducted by elements within the taliban this would be part of that to make things were difficult to conduct the evacuation. alix: we appreciate your perspective toda

it really did take on islamic state. that was a real concern. that is, the logic state was being pounded in parts of the middle east. it was being shrunk in syria and iraq, that it was a sending fighters, or it was starting to lay down roots in afghanistan, and in particular, in eastern afghanistan at around 20182019 the, the, the government, the government kind of stand supported by us forces and in particular, us power really did target them and really pounded them in the strongholds in the east of the country. and it was thought at one point that they pretty much been defeated islamic state apart from a few pockets of resistance. but you know, that was at a time where you had a stronger, more confidence afghan government backed up. of course, by far more americans, american military might. all of that has now gone. you have a, a taliban that is feeling its way into this government that it suddenly found itself inheriting. it has a country to run. it has married problems of job, just a governing the country. regardless of trying to maintain se

the islamic regime of iran is sheer.aliban and the islamic regime of iran when it comes to their relationship. the taliban is here and the islamic regime of iran is sheer. and historically they have been better enemies. there was one key event where the taliban assassinated almost one dozen iranians diplomats and a journalist and it almost led to war between the two. instead, a run opted to co—operate with the us in order to topple the taliban. come 2001, the us led invasion in afghanistan and that calculation changed on iran's part. they began cooperating with the taliban and to stave off the us influence, so much so that the us officials accused iran of having supplied weapons and money to the taliban, something the iranians deny. it really is a history of better enemies becoming strategic partners, in a sense, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. it is my enemy is my friend. it is interesting _ my enemy is my friend. it is interesting to _ my enemy is my friend. it is interesting to hear- my enemy is my friend.

so far islamic state has not public threatened to attack kabul and it is notjust threatened to attack not just an threatened to attack kabul and it is notjust an enemy of the united states, it is an enemy of the taliban and issued a statement calling the taliban us stages and said it was going to start a new jihad. let's speak to our correspondent, danjohnson who's covering the story from delhi. it is still chaotic outside kabul airport and if anything it's only getting worse. it is sweltering hot and there are thousands of people crammed in tight spaces and to stop more people dying service personnel have been spraying the crowd with water and lifting babies out of the crowd and it really is a desperate situation but nobody really having a situation but nobody really having a situation to it. the us is telling citizens to stay away and some nations coming up with solutions forgetting their citizens to the airport without having to go through those streets and face of those crowds but daily life in kabul is getting more difficult on the ground and the banks have been closed and nobody

he left it to, according to the islamic rules and sharia law.t, it can be quite mild as well, because we have islamic countries around the world. women are presenting, women are appearing in tv, women are appearing in music, so we don't know. we had after member that in the —— have to remember in the 1980s, when the taliban were in power, there were no women on tv, no women in publicjobs apart from gynaecologists, if that ecologist was working, there were no women in schools, so it isjust so hard to predict what we are going to see —— a few gynaecologists were working. see -- a few gynaecologists were workinu. :, , :, , working. the other she was the amnesty for — working. the other she was the amnesty for those _ working. the other she was the amnesty for those people i working. the other she was the amnesty for those people who l working. the other she was the i amnesty for those people who perhaps worked as translators for us forces and western forces as well. and a distinction that struck me was that when they were in a type of war fighting

we're not islamic laws. if they mean, when they say would be a framework as lamby mean the same thing, it's not clear. i mean, they have been able to hold contradict reviews i've been trying to, to end with because they haven't clarified, they have been able to make abstract general statements. they haven't been, haven't clarified detailed in terms of lane down like, well those goods able to go to diversity under what conditions, how it woman can actually a pretty media under what conditions and how they mix picture. and we have to see how those details going to be filled in. there is a mixed picture and certainly several people at that conference were asking for more details about what that meant. the spoke, some was very much saying less wait for the government to be for the 1st of the last to be made 1st and then we'll get back to you for now. thank you very much indeed. harun. i remember he, me that we will check in with you, of course, later on, but i do want to speak to i'll just leave a charlotte bell

or it could be something just short of all of islam. from there, it was an extremely short immediate transition to fearing american muslims, fearing your neighbors. thinking your neighbors posed a threat to you. not that this apparatus of war and repression posed a threat to you. amy: spencer, one of the things that has not got reported very much is as the taliban seized control in these last weeks of afghanistan, a key person that they executed -- he was imprisoned and they executed him -- was the former head of the islamic state in south asia. the significan of this >> this is an extreme complication that has come up in the last couple of years, particularly u.s.-taliban negotiations, by which i mostly mean back channel negotiations. they were not authorized -- or they were otherwise, it was somewhat of a freelance effort by retired u.s. army colonel and a retired u.s. ambassador to pakistan. what they discovered in talks with taliban in doha is the taliban were rather concerned about the rising presence of a so-called islamic state b

and we had the islamic and murder them in cold blood.s who are a great servicemembers who are trying to help them so i think it is important to be clear about what has happened here and to be clear that these were the are enemies of all civilised nations that we are looking at here and it is a sobering reminder of the atmosphere we can fund. in terms of an intelligence failure, there has been a lot of internal agents failures leading to this point but i think, you know, it is easy to say that but we have to be fair. the us intelligence community warned the president repeatedly that if he conducted timeline —based withdraw the taliban would make gains and topple the government. so that is not a surprise. what is a surprise for many is how quickly it happened and they also predicted that isis—k, an islamic state was trying to get the airports we've seen serious hits and misses on the part of the intelligence community but i'm not confident there is anything that president biden could have her that would have changed his mind. he made a mis
