The blasts killed dozens of people, including Afghans and at least 13 US troops.
“To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive; we will not forget,” said Biden.
He further added, “We will hunt you down and make you pay. I will defend our interests in our people with every measure at my command”.
“The US will continue the evacuations of American citizens and US allies despite the attack. “We will not be deterred by terrorists; we will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuations,” he said.
