Western nations on Thursday warned of a possible terrorist attack  at Kabul’s airport, where thousands of Afghanis have gathered as Americans try to leave the war-torn country amid a chaotic evacuation.

James Heappey, Britain’s armed forces minister, told the BBC on Thursday there was “very, very credible reporting of an imminent attack,” possibly targeting the airport in Afghanistan, Fox News reported. “A senior US official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the British report, saying the threat by ISIS-K or another affiliate of a vehicle bomb or suicide bomber has been measured as ‘more likely than unlikely’ for over the last 24 hours.”
