National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan signaled that the U.S. will keep targeting Islamic State in Afghanistan, saying two members killed in an air strike on Friday had been planning additional attacks.
President Joe Biden “will stop at nothing to make ISIS-K pay,” Sullivan said on “Fox News Sunday.” The group, an Islamic state offshoot, claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing on Thursday that killed at least 88 people, including 13 U.S. service members.
