CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen expresses concern over ISIS-K's claim of responsibility for the attack on a Russian concert hall, stating that it would be embarrassing for the Biden administration if the group has re-grouped to carry out major attacks in other countries after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
On Friday's broadcast of CNN 's 'AC360,' CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen stated that if ISIS-K 's claim of responsibility for the attack on a Russian concert hall is accurate, 'that would be very embarrassing for the Biden administration if it turned out that ISIS-K has sort of re-grouped to the extent that they can reach out to other countries carry out major attacks ' when the Biden administration is 'responsible' for pulling troops from Afghanistan .
He added, 'Initially, when I saw this, I was a little skeptical, because, typically, if you're an ISIS fighter, you don't care about getting killed at the scene of the crime. You don't — you're not looking for a getaway, you're looking to martyr yourself. So, in this case, it looks like the people did get away, according to the Russians. And that isn't sort of typical for an ISIS-type attack.
