Former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker on Thursday said more violence is on the horizon after attacks in Kabul killed 12 U.S. service members. Crocker, during an interview on CNN’s “The Lead,” said the U.S. withdrawal has emboldened militants in a number of countries, adding that “what happens in Afghanistan doesn’t stay in Afghanistan.” “The war is yet to come. This whole withdrawal announcement and process has been an enormous morale boost for Islamic radicals everywhere. Al Qaeda, Islamic State, Pakistani Taliban, you name it. They are on a roll, and they know it,” Crocker said. Crocker’s comments come after two suicide bombs were detonated outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Thursday, killing at least a dozen U.
