She has spoken movingly about how the Afghan people had hopes and dreams about their future after the horrors of 9/11.

This week  she told the House of Commons: 'Women and girls will suffer brutalisation under Taliban rule which will set the ideal conditions to promote violent extremism and terrorism on an international scale.'

The two separate explosions rocked Kabul with at least 13 casualties including children and three US soldiers among the wounded just hours after warnings of an 'imminent' and 'lethal' ISIS terror attack.

President Joe Biden has been briefed on the blast, one of which ripped through a crowd of Afghans gathered at the Abbey gate of the Hamid Karzai airport, and another which hit Barons Hotel, followed by gunfire amid the mass panic.

Images from the scene show scores of bloodied people being carried away from the bombsite with reports of multiple casualties.

Witnesses told Sky News the suicide bomber had detonated a device in a sewage canal-way packed with people and that there were 'definitely' civilian casualties, but it is believed there were no British military fatalities.
