Fox News
The State Department on Thursday said the grounded flights in Afghanistan have "nothing to do with any inaction or action by the part of the United States government" as thousands remain stranded across the Taliban-controlled nation.
The spokesman’s words came just hours after a first flight was allowed to leave the Hamid Karzai International Airport, outside of Kabul, since the U.S. withdrawal of all forces and personnel on Aug. 31. Qatar Airways chartered the flight with U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) aboard, Price confirmed. The State Department official could not verify how many Americans or LPRs were on board.More Related News
