The US military has reportedly killed an IS-K planner in a drone strike, just hours after President Joe Biden issued a bleak warning to the terror group.<\/p>\n
The President gave the warning that the USA would "hunt you down and make you pay" after several US troops were killed during a terror attack at Kabul airport.<\/p>\n
US Central Command says Biden vowed to strike the group, and has hit back less than two days after hundreds were injured in Kabul.<\/p>\n
"U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner," Central Command said, reports CNN.<\/p>\n
"The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties."<\/p>\n
Shortly after the Pentagon confirmed ten marines were killed, Biden said during a press briefing: "We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay."<\/p>\n
"We will respond with force and precision at our time, at the place we choose and the moment of our choosing," Biden said. "Here's what you need to know: These ISIS terrorists will not win."<\/p>\n
The terror attacks came after days of public and private warnings from Biden of a potential threat that could disrupt the massive effort to evacuate Americans, British citizens and Afghans from the country.<\/p>\n
The US president added the mission would not be affected by the attackers, where the August 31 deadline for getting everyone out of the country looms.<\/p>\n
Alongside desperately trying to evacuate thousands who want to leave Afghanistan, Biden has told the US military to hunt and punish the terrorists who are responsible for the attack.<\/p>\n
The death toll from Thursday's terrorist bombing is over 100 and rising, after two sites were targetted – near the Baron Hotel and at Kabul International Airport.<\/p>\n
Both suicide bombers were members of the Islamic State Khorasan Province group, known as IS-K, or ISIS-K.<\/p>\n
