The possibility of an 'imminent attack,' perhaps within 'hours,' loomed over Kabul’s airport on Thursday, according to a British official.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, however, dismissed the reports of possible attacks, calling them"not correct." But he did not elaborate, the AP reported.One Taliban official whosaid its own guards were"risking their lives" at the airport because of a possible attack by Islamic State Khorasan , which the Taliban regards as an enemy.
"We received information at the military level from the United States, but also from other countries, that there were indications that there was a threat of suicide attacks on the mass of people," De Cross said, talking about the threat around Kabul airport. Poland, Belgium and Denmark all said their final flights had departed, while France said it would conduct no more evacuations after Friday evening, citing the upcoming withdrawal of U.S. troops."From tomorrow evening onwards, we are not able to evacuate people from the Kabul airport," French Prime Minister Jean Castex told RTL Radio in France.
