The visit coming hours after several small rockets exploded in and around kabul airport. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack which had no reports of casualties or damage. Lets talk more about this. Is there anything that could link these two events, the arrival of the u. S. Defense secretary and the rocket fire today . The attack is still ongoing. We understand a helicopter gunship wanted to target the house where at least four attackers are still firing at different targets, including the Hamid Karzai International airport. The helicopter hit another house 100 meters away, injuring five civilians, all members of one family. At this stage, we can confirm at least one woman and two children are confirmed killed. Whats interesting, for the taliban and Islamic State, they say they carried out the attack. The taliban have said they wanted to target the u. S. Defense secretary. What is very clear, this attack shows how afghanistan continues to suffer from this huge intelligence and security failures. In this case, its also embarrassing or the International Forces in kabul. They allocated a lot of resources for the protection of the harvard Karzai International militarywhich has a side, or the Afghan Air Force is based, where forces also have a major operations base, including a base from where they carry out all the sensitive operations, we now haves confirmation that the kabul city, the area has been put securityot of preparations, several layers of security.

This comes after donald trump announced a new strategy for afghanistan, promising a bigger military campaign against the taliban insurgents. How likely is it that that will help . 2016,t we have seen since the taliban have control of more areas. They are better armed, they can recruit from areas where previously the Afghan Government was recruiting for the police and army. Doubt, the Afghan Government and its International Allies are looking at a fight on many fronts. You have to find the sort of attacks in the citys, but you also have to fight the town of and on highways, districts, major provincial capitals that are surrounded. They have not fallen into the hands of taliban only because of air power, escalation in the air power we have seen. Then you also have to do with the Islamic State, at least in some parts of the country. What is very crucial from now on is the strike capability these groups have. They can carry out a strike in a city like kabul in an hour, according to a counterterrorism official. That is capability mainly of recruitmenta has expanded. We also see a lot of sophistication on the part of these militant groups. Thank you. Saudi arabia is ending its ban on women drivers.
