Speaking at the White House for the first time since the terror attacks in Kabul, US President Joe Biden vowed retaliation.
“We will not forgive,” he said during a national address.
“Will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.
“I will defend our interest and our people with every measure at my command.”

The President said the 12 troops who died were “heroes” who had participated in a “dangerous, selfless mission to save the lives of others”.
“The situation on the ground is still evolving and I’m constantly being updated,” he said.
“These American service members who gave their lives. That is an overused word, but it is totally appropriate here. [They are] heroes, heroes who have been engaged in a dangerous selfless mission to save the lives of others.”
