When hollywood/showbiz trained actor turned politician Reagan aka "MAGA 1.0" had started funding/arming "ISIS 1.0" terrorism against Russian infidels in Afghanistan, had he anticipated risks like these decades later?
Also Trump recently had declared "ISIS defeated" completely, how did this rebirth happen and on whose watch?
This is 3 years after Trump surge. US taxpayers funded gov declares 'day of mourning'.

At least 22 people were killed and 22 wounded after Islamic State-affiliated gunmen stormed Kabul University as it was hosting a book fair attended by Iran’s ambassador to Afghanistan, taking hostages and fighting gun battles with security forces for more than five hours.
The Afghan government has declared Tuesday a national day of mourning following the attack. Three attackers shot at fleeing students and gunned down others in their classrooms in what was the second assault on an educational facility in the country in recent weeks. The gunmen were shot dead by Afghan security forces, authorities said.
On Monday evening, Isis took responsibility for the attack, claiming it had targeted a “graduation gathering for judges and investigators of the apostate Afghan government”. It named two men as responsible.
The attack began with an explosion at the gates of the university just after 11am on Monday that sent hundreds of students fleeing but left many others trapped inside. Photos shared by a senior government official showed students lying dead in classrooms, some next to their books. One student appeared to have been shot as they were climbing out of a window.
Ahmad Samim, who attends the university, told journalists he saw militants armed with pistols and Kalashnikov assault rifles firing at the school, the country’s oldest with about 22,000 students. He said the attack happened at the university’s eastern side, which houses its law and journalism faculty.

On a side note, this was bit unusual development in recent past:
Almost every US metric for the war in Afghanistan 'is now classified or nonexistent,'
Also, using whatever political capital available, foreign allies' media should also be held accountable for their reporting and should be asked to stop pubishing such irresponsible reports:

And what actual objective are you seeking in Afghanistan? Our original objective was supposedly to get rid of Osama Bin Laden, who was actually allowed to escape prior to our invasion. With OBJ gone, and now dead (no body ever independently identified), we are done. Bush could have declared "victory" and just left. Obama could have declared "victory" (before bombing a hospital) and left.
