The White House said on Thursday that ISIS-K continued to pose 'active' threats even as at least 100 Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan and the U.S. guards against the threat of terrorists using charter flights out of Kabul to launch an attack.

During her regular briefing, President Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki said diplomatic efforts continued to rescue Americans left behind.

But she raised fears that ISIS-K, the local offshoot of the Islamic State behind the suicide attack on Kabul airport last week that killed 13 Americans, remained a potent threat with ambitions to attack U.S. personnel on military bases outside Afghanistan. 

'We are in close touch from the State Department, from our diplomatic officials, with all of these individuals working in close coordination with them to determine how they can leave the country,' she said .

But she denied reports that the U.S. was thwarting rescue efforts by preventing charter flights taking off from Kabul.

She said there were no longer personnel on the ground in Afghanistan and that the U.S. 'don't control the air space.'

White House Press Secretary said, 'there continue to be active ISIS-K threats,' as she discussed efforts to rescue more than 100 Americans still in Afghanistan and the use of charter flights to get people out
