ISIS-K, the Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan, claimed responsibility for the explosions on Thursday in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. military service members. Now the Pentagon has admitted that the Taliban, who Biden seems to take orders from these days, released thousands of ISIS-K members before the group took American lives.
The Taliban reportedly released between 5,000 and 7,000 from the Parwan Detention Facility at Bagram along with a separate prison, Pul-e-Charkhi, according to CNBC. Prisoners released also included both Taliban and al-Qaida fighters.
.@JenGriffinFNC: "How many ISIS-K prisoners were left at Bagram and believed to have been released from the prison there & why weren't they removed before the U.S. pulled out to some place like Gitmo?"
Kirby: "Well, I don't know the exact number. Clearly, it's in the thousands" pic.twitter.com/yUdIz0l32H
