We previously reported that ISIS-K is the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for yesterday’s attack in Kabul, which killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said earlier today that “thousands” of ISIS-K prisoners were released after the Taliban took over the country.

In response to a reporter who asked how many how many prisoners were left at Bagram Air Base, Kirby explained, “I don’t know the exact number. Clearly, it’s in the thousands when you consider both prisons, because both of them were taken over by the Taliban and emptied. But I couldn’t give you a precise figure.”
