On Thursday, Commanding General Kenneth McKenzie warned terrorist attacks could continue in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe it is their desire to continue those attacks and we expect those attacks to continue,\u201d he stated. \u201cAnd we\u2019re doing everything we can to be prepared for those attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>General McKenzie said very serious security threats remain for American military personnel as the U.S. approaches Joe Biden\u2019s August 31 deadline to withdraw from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery, very real threat streams\u2026.would call tactical,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat means imminent could occur at any moment and they range from rocket attacks. We know that they would like to lob a rocket in there if they could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McKenzie said the U.S. is actively working to find the ISIS terrorists suspected of being responsible for the heinous act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been clear all along that we\u2019re going to retain the right to operate against ISIS in Afghanistan and we are working very hard right now to determine attribution, to determine who is associated with this cowardly attack,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd we\u2019re prepared to take action against them, 24\/7 we are looking for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MG Taylor: There are more than 5,000 U.S. service members in harm\u2019s way saving as many people as they can. It&#8217;s a noble mission. We have seen firsthand how dangerous that mission is, but ISIS will not deter us from accomplishing this mission. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T3u14Wwz8n\">pic.twitter.com\/T3u14Wwz8n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Department of Defense \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@DeptofDefense) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeptofDefense\/status\/1431275264676438019?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the potential risk of another attack, McKenzie said the U.S. is still working to evacuate as many Americans from Afghanistan as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will coordinate very carefully to make sure that it\u2019s safe for American citizens to come to the airfield,\u201d he assured. \u201cIf it\u2019s not, we\u2019ll tell them to hold and then we\u2019ll, you know, we\u2019ll work other ways to try to get them to the airfield.
