Well...now we have ISIS the K variant!!!!
"Hours after terrorist attack in Afghanistan took the lives of 13 U.S. soldiers and injured more than a dozen more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki sought to assure the public that the terrorist network that claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing posed no direct threat to the American homeland.
Asked what Thursday's attack said about the ability of the U.S. to manage the terrorist threat from groups like ISIS-K after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Psaki acknowledged the danger facing troops overseeing the evacuation effort, but made a distinction between that and the risk to Americans inside the U.S.
“ISIS’s ability to target individuals who are on the ground in Afghanistan is very different from ISIS’s ability to attack the United States and attack the homeland,” Psaki said. “And we will maintain and continue over-the-horizon capacity with presence and partnership with countries in the region to insure that they don't develop that ability.”
ISIS-K, or Islamic State Khorasan, is a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban and is not known to have struck outside of the region. Thursday’s attack also killed 60 Afghans and injured 143 more. Still, other national security officials say that today’s bloody attack should be viewed as a grim warning"
