Doubt US is involved this time but talibani influence is guaranteed.
Taliban is not a homogeneous entity. It consists of fighters from various ethnicities pashtuns, uzbeks, tajiks, Hazaras etc) and different tribes (14 tribes approx). So the US supported taliban faction may not have done it but another faction might have. Moreover, the Talis do morph into ISIS, Al Qaeda etc. The Incharge of Security for Kabul now is Haqqani, so any guesses on who dunnit n who's under the pump now. I repeat it's a cluster foxtrot.
The longer foreign nationals are present in kabul aka hostages for taliban the longer the west stays away from rebels fighting against taliban.
Whom you call rebels have traditionally been supported by the CARs north of Afghanistan. West has hardly any role to play in that. The Russians and Indians hold sway in that Alliance. West supports the faction that US supports and as mentioned above, that is the faction that holds sway in Kabul.
As an observation, it is very very interesting to note that two very big neighbors (India and China) are keeping absolutely mum (except one statement by China on recognizing Tali, they know now that jumping the gun was a mistake). Let the plots unravel. Emotions aside, it's all about business. Just stand back and look at it.... India's role is critical now given that things are going sideways for the west. In geo-politics there is never a vaccum for long, India is in all probably willing and ready.

Sigh.....Americans. The Pentagon and the State Department still cannot provide accurate information about the victims of the double terrorist attack in Kabul.

The White House is silent. Biden has not left the situation center for several hours now.
So whats next now? Will evacuation process continue or US will just leave like they did in Baghram base? Biden’s administration is under mounting pressure.

"It is imperative that someone with some sort of organization take up the helms of security & provide some sort of governance in Afghanistan"

"International community should stand with the authorities in Afghanistan to fight the growing threat of ISIS-K"

"ISIS-K poses a threat not just to Afghanistan but also Pakistan, it is imperative that we work with the governments of both countries to stop this menace"

"We need to support the moderate government of Pakistan to take the fight to the ISIS-K"

"Pakistan needs all the support that it can get to fight the ISIS-K"

.....

"Unresolved conflicts such as Cashmere provide a never ending supply of recruits to the ISIS-K"

"Moderates in Pakistan need to show some progress on Cashmere to stem to growth of ISIS-K & other allied terror organization"

.....

What else can they do for the moment? Mounting offensive through the Pakistani route will entail the same result- a cat and mouse game with a known and declared mole on your side. As of now, it looks likely that they will complete the evacuation (or at least the pretense of it) and then pull strings sitting in DC later.

I think few US soldiers too are part of dead... so enjoy the pop corn...IMO, more Pakistani's have used this opportunity to get out of hell hole called Pakistan than Afghani's ...

But I don't believe it
USA NSA is strongest intelligence collection
Agency on planet.

Controlling ISIS not ISI cup of tea.

Hell they don't even Control TTP 🙄

It's just Smart narrative building by both
To target Pakistan openly for Foreigners

It will be expected from us Indians.

Porkies should face westerners Wrath after they leave Afghanistan 🇦🇫
