President Joe Biden on Friday said the U.S. military is keeping watch on possible terrorist threats near the Kabul airport, including ISIS, coming after a number of high-profile prison releases occurred as the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

“We are keeping a close watch on any potential terrorist threat at or around the airport including ISIS affiliates in Afghanistan that were released from prison,“ Biden told reporters at the White House on Friday. ”ISIS in Afghanistan have been the sworn enemy of the Taliban,” he added.
