Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said the “endless war” in Afghanistan was reignited after twin explosions in Kabul killed multiple civilians and US servicemembers in Kabul.

       Mr Kinzinger, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, said he had questions for officials like Republican Sen Rand Paul, who have criticized the military efforts in Afghanistan.

       “Congratulations, the endless war just got fired up again,” Mr Kinzinger said on MSNBC Thursday.

       “Because if ISIS and al-Qaeda’s job was to simply get us out of Afghanistan and then we can all live in our respective corners peacefully, you know there would not have been a suicide attack a couple days prior to the US leaving,” he said.

       Mr Kinzinger said that as a result, the decision the United States makes will determine the future of terrorism in the world.

       Rep Kinzinger is one of many Republicans who is speaking out after the explosion in Kabul.

       US officials confirmed the deaths of multiple US service members on Thursday afternoon.
