Good morning from the Financial Times. Today is Friday, August 27th.

And this is your FT News Briefing.

Two explosions near Kabul's airport killed at least 13 U.S. troops and many civilians.

U.S. military officials blamed the blasts on ISIS. And in Western Afghanistan,

people in the city of Harat are adjusting to life under the Taliban.

There are patrolling in the street with guns and weeps, so that scares people.

Also, U.S. central bankers are gathering today for the annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium

and will tell you about an internet data spat between Britain and the EU.

I'm Mark Filipino, here's the news you need to start your day.

Two bombs exploded near Kabul Airport yesterday just as Western countries were scrambling to

get people out of Afghanistan on the last evacuation flights. The explosions killed at least

13 U.S. service members and an unknown number of civilians.

U.S. military officials blamed the attacks on suicide bombers linked to ISIS.

it's created an environment where ISIS has been able clearly to attack again and is targeted.

The head of the Pentagon's central command General Kenneth McKenzie said they would work

they expected to be attacked. They think that ISIS will continue to try and attack them.
