President of the United States (US) Joe Biden has vowed to avenge the killing of 13 US armed forces personnel who died in the fatal suicide bombing attacks at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, reports Hindustan Times.
Speaking at the White House, Biden said, "To those who carried out this attack as well as anyone who wishes America harm know this: We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay." He also said, "We have some reason to believe we know who they are ... not certain."
While 13 of US' troopers were left dead following the attacks, as many as 18 more were injured. The attack came amid the evacuation efforts led by the US and other countries to get people out of the Afghan capital ahead of Biden's 31 August withdrawal deadline.
It should be noted that as per CNN, the terror outfit ISIS-K has claimed the responsibility for the suicide attacks at Kabul airport. The US' Department of Defence had also warned of a similar attack earlier this year.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
