00:00I heard a loud and terrible explosion from close range, and all the people were lying
00:22on the ground and fell.
00:34To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this.
00:43We will not forgive.
00:46We will not forget.
00:49We will hunt you down and make you pay.
01:19It's a hard day today.
01:23As you know, two suicide bombers, assessed to have been ISIS fighters, detonated in the
01:27vicinity of the Abbey Gate at Hamad Karzai International Airport and in the vicinity
01:32of the Baron Hotel, which is immediately adjacent.
01:35The attack on the Abbey Gate was followed by a number of ISIS gunmen who opened fire
01:39on civilians and military forces.
01:41While we're saddened by the loss of life, both U.S. and Afghan, we're continuing to
01:45re-execute the mission."
02:15I don't have the complete details, but targeting innocent civilians is an act of terrorism
02:36that has to be condemned by the entire world.
02:39It is because of foreign forces, the presence of foreign forces, that such attacks take
02:44place.
02:53We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks, and we expect those attacks
02:56to continue.
02:57And we're doing everything we can to be prepared for those attacks.
