Afghanistan : U.S. Military Takes Control Of Kabul Airport To evacuate staff

There have been scenes of nervousness at Kabul airport as unhappy residents try to flee following the seizure of the Afghan capital by the Taliban.
With scheduled flights suspended, many foreigners and Afghans are stranded. The US and other countries are rushing to evacuate staff and allies. On Sunday the Taliban declared victory after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled abroad and his government collapsed.
The militants' return to rule brings an end to almost 20 years of a US-led coalition's presence in the country.

At least seven people were killed during the chaos, including several people who plunged to their deaths after clinging on to a U.S. military jet that took off from the runway. The U.S. temporarily suspended evacuations to secure the airfield.The Islamist group was able to seize control after most foreign troops pulled out.
