The bombings at Kabul airport claimed by Islamic State-Khorosan (IS-K) serve three purposes: to undermine the Taliban, attack the West and draw attention to the group, says Raffaello Pantucci, a senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. Twin suicide bombs ripped through crowds outside Kabul airport on Thursday, killing at least 85 people including 13 US troops and deepening panic in the final days of an already frenzied evacuation effort from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
