Second Chartered Flight Takes Foreigners Out Of Afghanistan

This comes one day after another flight carrying an estimated 200 foreigners, including Americans, departed from Kabul.

A second commercial flight departed from Kabul Friday and a Qatari official said the plane was carrying 158 passengers. This comes a day after an estimated 200 foreigners, including Americans, left Afghanistan on a commercial flight with the cooperation of the Taliban — the first such large-scale departure since U.S. forces completed their frantic withdrawal over a week ago. The Qatar Airways flight to Doha marked a breakthrough in the bumpy coordination between the U.S. and Afghanistan's new rulers. A dayslong standoff over charter planes at another airport has left hundreds of mostly Afghan people stranded, waiting for Taliban permission to leave.
