Just days ago, 13 U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing at an airport gate in which a faction of ISIS was said to be responsible.

The blast was heard in the Afghan capital Kabul just hours after US officials warned of the possibility of a terror attack, asking all Americans to leave the outer vicinity of the airport.

A security official from the recently deposed government said that “initial information shows hit a house.”
