"Not all 200 are US citizens. There are American citizens amongst the group departing Kabul to Doha," said the source, who was briefed on the operation.
About 200 foreigners including Americans are to leave Kabul in the first airlift since the US withdrawal and Taliban takeover, a source and officials said on Thursday, adding that the airport was gradually reopening. A Qatari technical official in the Afghan capital told Al Jazeera TV that "90 percent" of Kabul airport was fixed after last month's hurried evacuation of more than 120,000 people as the United States ended its two-decade occupation. Footage broadcast by the Qatari channel showed families including women, children and elderly people waiting with suitcases at the airport. "Not all 200 are US citizens. There are American citizens amongst the group departing Kabul to Doha," said the source, who was briefed on the operation.More Related News
