Top UK military official warns of possible IS attack on Kabul airport

Kabul: UK Armed Forces Minister James Heappey warned on Thursday that ISIS-Khorasan group might stage an “imminent” and “severe” terrorist attack at the Kabul airport “within hours.”

Earlier this week, a senior UK source told the Sky News broadcaster about a “very high risk” of a terrorist attack against the evacuation operation, with the main threat coming from ISIS-K.

CNN also reported, citing sources, that the US shared these concerns that are mounting after over 100 prison inmates loyal to the ISIS-K escaped from two prisons near Kabul.
