President Biden and Vice President Harris were warned by their national security team that “another terror attack in Kabul is likely” as the mission enters its “most dangerous period to date.” The names of the 13 U.S. servicemen who were killed in the suicide bombing outside the airport are starting to come out. The family of U.S. Marine Rylee McCollum confirmed to CNN that he died in the attack and said he was “an amazing man with a passion for the Marines.” Rep. Adam Kinzinger is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and is currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard. He tells Anderson Cooper “while it’s extremely tragic that these 13 people were killed” they were killed “saving lives.” Plus, CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward was able to evacuate Kabul last week. Before leaving she sat down for an exclusive interview with a commander of ISIS-K, the terror group that claimed responsibility for the Kabul airport attack.
