About 6,800 people were evacuated from Kabul over a 24-hour stretch, a White House official says
Officials warn of possible threats to US in wake of Afghanistan attack and mass evacuationfollowing the mass evacuation from Afghanistan and devastating attack in Kabul this week.
An official with the FBI said on the call that though there is no specific intelligence on terrorist organizations using relocation as an opportunity,"we cannot discount that it is a possibility."

The second significant security threat is whether people already in the US, who may be inspired by narratives associated with al Qaeda, ISIS or other foreign terrorist groups,"will view the events in Afghanistan as an opportunity to engage in violence here at home," Cohen said.
