so perhaps it may have been isis. it's usually eas, them who, who claim responsibility in these latest attacks that have been happening all over all over afghanistan, especially here in cobble of we regularly here and read about fire fights, raids carried out by the taliban. them trying to track down crack down and isis k cells here. and i've got to saw the 2 organizations have been at war for years now . and the taliban is evidently trying to solidify its control over of galveston. there was also another attack yesterday that has been attributed by local to isis k, whereby they say that of the terrorists drove by, ah taliban taliban members and began firing at them in a drive by attacking the in a vehicle attack with where 4 people were killed and another attack, another part of, of galveston. an attack on a taliban convoy, which has also been attributed to isis at 17 people was said to have been killed in that. so suddenly that violence, the spot, the end of the african, the pull out of american and allied troops th

a key isis, k, isis in afghanistan hide out in missouri. sherry, this is in the north of the country. so it's obvious that there is at a concerted effort campaign underway by the taliban to target eyesore k areas. i think it was interesting. 2 days ago we had a press conference by the spokes person from the interior ministry. and beforehand, sammy, we've been interviewing members of the taliban. i interview interview the head of a couple security just a couple of days ago. and they've always maintained that in the isis case. threat is under control that they habits sorta was interesting 2 days ago. the interior ministry spokesperson giving a message to taliban fighters to look inward saying if you feel that anyone could be an ice ok operative within your ranks, he needs to be reported. and then saying that they will be held account under study a law. they will be held account under treason that the entire unit, including the commander will be dissolved. so there isn't admittance now that the infiltration by isis k of taliban rags could be a

the taliban this morning saying they were targeting an isis safe house and a number of isis-ken surgeents were killed in that attack. this really underscoring, brianna, the challenge of the moment the taliban finds itself in. the one thing they have been able to offer people, their main appeal, if you like, they have been able to bring a modicum of security. there has been a lull in the fighting that of course we were seeing in the years leading up to their takeover. with yesterday's attack and smaller-scale bombings in jalalabad and around, there are now real questions about just how much of a challenge isis-k and groups like it could impose, brianna. >> can you give us background on isis-k and the taliban and the relationship or lack thereof between these two groups? >> reporter: right. a lot of people probably find it confusing. if you think of militant islamists, you would think they would be fighting on the same side as opposed to each other. when we sat down with a commander a week before the city of kabul fell to the taliban it was interesting to hear his hatred wasn't really direc

michael, first to you, the taliban is targeting isis militants after that weekend blast, and now isis has claimed responsibility. is this heating up and now the taliban are going to have to take isis-k head on? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, you know, one result of the collapse of the afghan security forces is the taliban have lost their ally in this joint battle against isis. that was the one form of sort of de facto cooperation in afghanistan between the taliban and the afghan government. isis is a common enemy for both of them. i have seen some compelling commentary to the effect that as the taliban tries to somewhat moderate -- i emphasize somewhat -- its practices in the hope of gaining international recognition and foreign aid, there are going to be radicals within its ranks who say basically, hey, the leadership has sold out. they're not tough enough anymore, and you can see defections to isis. or more popularity for isis, and that's going to be a big problem. >> and anne gearan, you know, women have now been excluded not only from the government, but also from the leading univer

there groups are fierce rivals but isis is far smaller than the taliban. in the east of the country, a bloody conflict is escalating between the two sides. >> a new chapter is beginning in this conflict. we have come to its frontline. the taliban now with the country -- now rule the country, but here, they are facing a daily stream of targeted attacks by the local branch of the islamic state group. this, a roadside bombing. the hit and run tactics of the taliban now used against them. it is not just the taliban who are under attack. a prominent social activist, his two young sons saw him going to down earlier this month. >> when the taliban took power, we were hopeful that all the violence and killing would finally stop. but now, we face this new phenomenon. reporter: the taliban's intelligence service has detained dozens of alleged i.s. members, hundreds of escape from prison during that group's takeover. dead bodies with notes labeling them i.s. fighters are dumped by the road every few days. but the taliban will not admit responsibility for the extrajud

, isis-k and other variations of isis across the world? >> you're asking me? >> general milley first, and then austin. >> it would be good to handle in a classified session. in a nonclassified session, i would say the al qaeda threat globally is still there. the threat in afghanistan has an opportunity now to potentially reconstitute, although it's been ripped apart steadily over the past 20 years, and al qaeda has displaced other parts of the world with affiliates in east africa, or down in yemen. and there's several affiliates worldwide. some of which are quite capable. with respect to isis, we saw isis core in iraq, and all that. that was all ripped apart. they still exist up there, by the way. isis has found a new home in parts of afghanistan. right now they're at war, essentially, with the taliban. isis has affiliates in other parts of the world because of their brutality. there are other regions of the world, which have high concentration of lethal terrorist organizations, with aspirations to conduct operations against the united sta

does not pose a big threat here attached by isis. we don't know the number of casualties. we don't know if among them were fatalities or injuries. at the moment the big take aways have to say it appears as this they're cracking down on isis in bobble, closer to kabul have perpetrated a bigger attack. their message is since they've got in power, people's lives have gotten much safer. that appears less true in kabul. >> great seeing you. thank you. >>> devin her rick was accused of attacking a woman last summer while he was off duty. >>> we'll have much more ahead on "cnn newsroom" after a very short break. do stay right here. to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn's disease. the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. and many achieved remission that can last. humira can lower your ability to fight infectio

and overlap with isis, as well. so, the real danger that the pentagon is now warning that isis in afghanistan could coalesce and then try to carry out an attack outside of that territory in the united states or else where. and the reason they're making these warnings is they want to raise attention and they want to raise concern and they want to say we told you so and they are trying to secure agreements to have more u.s. bases closer to afghanistan. because right now all the u.s. troops are gone. go ahead, sorry. >> no, richard, you are exactly where i'm going with this. there's the geographical piece of this. much are made over the horizon capabilities, et cetera. we're looking at a map here. bases that do have u.s. access. >> exactly. if you look, they're all pretty far away and they're all in the arabian gulf. those are the closest bases. before you had troops inside afghanistan and what the u.s. is trying to do is go north of afghanistan and put bases into the former soviet republic, central asian states anduse

when the united states invaded afghanistan on october 7th, 2001, there was no isis. the whole war on terror by the united states, which is included the death of 250000 afghans during the past 20 years. and that has created that has created that has been the trigger or the catalyst for the further expansion of ice is or isis like formations. so from a on its face, the war on terror has been a complete and utter failure because rather than containing or stopping this kind of extremism or terrorism, it has accelerated and expanded it as a phenomenon. the former us national security advisor, john bolton, will be sharing his thoughts on that us pull out along with other foreign policy issues. when he sits down with ortiz going underground show, you'll be able to watch the full interview tomorrow. saturday. you say in your book the room where it happened, the afghanistan deal that's trumps one time will prove who is right. and the full extent to the deal may not become apparent until after trump leaves office. what is your assessment? as a former national security advisor,

it brings me back to that day. >> the hell fire missile strike was just days after a horrific isis-k attack that killed 13 u.s. service members and nearly 150 afghans trying to evacuate from the kabul airport after the taliban seized control of the country. according to the pentagon, six drones tracked this white toyota seen here on security camera video for eight hours believing it was linked to an imminent attack by isis-k. instead it was being driven by zamari who worked for a us humanitarian aid agency specializing in malling nutrition. >> we now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those who died were associated with isis-k or were a direct threat to the u.s. forces. i offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed. >> a painful mistake the ahmadi family will have to live with no matter how much ther compensated. imtiaz tyab, cbs news, kabul. >> the grand mosque in mecca returned to full capacity today. masks and vaccinated worshipers stood shoulder to shoulder for the first time since the pandemic began. the mosque in saudi arabia is

in recent weeks, isis-k, has been lashing out. patrols like this have been stepped up across kabul, but the taliban insists that isis-k is not a threat. attacks like this tell a different story. less than a day after we rriefd in afghanistan, isis-k carried out a suicide bombing at a mosque belonging to the shi'a minority in the southern city of kandahar. despite the threat, the taliban leadership seems more interested in supporting repressive edicts against women and girls, including its recent decree that only girls 11 and under would be allowed to go to school, while girls over the age of 12, millions of them, are now forbidden, like 14-year-old hoda. does afghanistan still feel like home to you? >> no. >> reporter: the taliban's chief spokesman: when can they go back to school? is it a matter of weeks, months, years? he says, "we are trying to do this, but we can't tell you how long it will take." >> the taliban really don't like women at all. >> reporter: this woman is an afghan-american women's rights activist. what do you w

with respect to isis, we saw our isis core in iraq. that was ripped apart, but they still exist. and isis found a new home in afghanistan. alt-right now, they are at war with the taliban. but isis has been affiliates as well. they have high concentrations of lethal terrorist organizations. to continue to watch that. it has moved and we can cover that in some detail in a classified session. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll pursue both questions for the in classified session. >> thank you. senator tillis? >> thank you, mr. chairman. general milley and general mckenzie, i ran out of time before i could thank you for some of the work your staff did in august. we were working several cases. i was involved. i remember a conversation with one of your staff at about 3:00 in the morning while we were try ing to shepard someone out and we did get them out successfully along with some american citizens. unfortunately, we have a much longer list of people that we were not successful with getting out between the holders and family members, my office alone has over 900 peopl still on a list of

although there was no immediate claim for responsibility, isis k are the key suspects. since the taliban took over, attacks by this isis affiliate have increased dramatically. indeed, there was another deadly isis attack today in jalalabad that left four dead, and in the last week alone, isis k have claimed a series of other attacks in the country's east, killing dozens of civilians and taliban fighters. today's attack was also the first such assault in kabul, since an isis suicide bomber killed 13 u.s. soldiers and over 200 civilians near the kabul airport during that chaotic withdrawal in late august. experts have warned that a civil war in afghanistan could replicate the chaos seen in syria from which isis was able to carve out its first caliphate. the only difference being the u.s. had a presence in and around syria. they do not now in or around afghanistan. the bottom line if taliban can't offer security to the people they claim to govern, by stopping attacks like this, if they continue to struggle to pay government salaries and continue to subjugate a large portio
