Obviously the investigators are still trying to figure out what was behind this, who the bomber is. Im told theyve identified a male as the bomber but theyre still trying to learn more about him.

more than two decades. including the terror threat from afghanistan, groups such as the taliban and al qaeda and others. peter, this is what u.s. officials have been warning and they told me yesterday there was cre credible and specific thoughts around the airport because they believed that terror groups in particular isis-k had the ability to carry out such attacks. this is early. but as you watch this, tell us your action. well it was reported yesterday there was a very strong threat stream than we had last night s warnings from the state department for americans to stay away. this could be isis-k but it will also be al qaeda. we don t know yet. but al qaeda has presence in 19 of the 34 afghan provinces and isis-k has an ability to strike at will in kabul. to showed that in may when if t
