White House says there is STILL an active threat from ISIS-K with 100 Americans stranded in Kabul and fears terrorists could sneak onto private charter flights and launch attacks on US bases
Jen Psaki said 'there continue to be active ISIS-K threats' as she addressed efforts to get remaining Americans out of Afghanistan
She said there are still at least 100 nationals left in the country
The press secretary denied reports the administration was blocking charter flights taking off from Kabul
Instead she said officials had concerns about charter flights landing at U.S military bases
'We know ISIS-K has a keen interest in attacks against ... our personnel on the ground in our military bases,' she said
