President Joe Biden said Saturday’s drone strike won’t be the last. He said whenever anyone seeks to harm the U.S. or attack American troops, "we will respond.""I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack on our troops and innocent civilians in Kabul, and we have," Biden said in a statement. "This strike was not the last.
We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay."RELATED: US airstrike kills 2 Islamic State members following.
