State Department warns US citizens to leave gates of Kabul airport 'immediately' due to threats​

The State Department warned U.S. citizens at the gates outside of the airport in Kabul to leave "immediately" due to threats.

"Because of security threats outside the gates of Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so," a security alert from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said on Wednesday. "U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately."

The United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office issued a similarly urgent message about the threat of terrorism at the airport.

"The security situation in Afghanistan remains volatile. There is an ongoing and high threat of terrorist attack. Do not travel to Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport. If you are in the area of the airport, move away to a safe location and await further advice," updated guidance from the office said on Wednesday.

Time magazine killed their link - go figure, Fortunately Waybackmachine archived it

Kohistani insisted the Afghan National Security and Defense Force could hold on to the heavily fortified base despite a string of Taliban wins on the battlefield. The airfield also includes a prison with about 5,000 prisoners, many of them allegedly Taliban.
