Dem calls Afghanistan airport 'very attractive target' for ISIS as Americans are trapped inside
Schiff said he was concerned about the threat that terrorist organizations could pose to both Americans and Afghan allies on the ground there.
The California Democrat worried that groups outside the gates could"cause chaos that might prolong the U.S. stay in a way that ISIS-K believes might suit their interest." "It's a very real risk, I think, to our aircraft, to our personnel, to people who have congregated around the airport," Schiff said."Whenever you have a mass gathering like that, it is an opportunity for improvised and other explosive devices."
