Biden's national security adviser says ISIS threat against Kabul airport is 'real' and 'acute'
CNN
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that the threat of ISIS against the large mass of Americans and Afghans at the Kabul airport trying to evacuate Afghanistan is "real," adding that the US is placing "paramount priority" on preventing any terrorist attack.
"The threat is real. It's acute. It is persistent. And it is something we're focused on with every tool in our arsenal," Sullivan told CNN's Brianna Keilar on "State of the Union" Sunday. CNN reported earlier this weekend that the US military is establishing "alternative routes" to the Kabul airport because of a threat the terror group ISIS-K, a self-proclaimed branch of the Islamic State, poses to the airport and its surroundings.More Related News
