| In a security alert issued early Sunday, the US embassy sounded the alarm about a potential attack at the Kabul airport, two days after a suicide bombing killed some 170 Afghans, 13 US servicmen and two British nationals. | |
| Those US citizens who had already set off to the airport were urged to turn around. | |
| “Due to a specific, credible threat, all U.S. citizens in the vicinity of Kabul airport (HKIA), including the South (Airport Circle) gate, the new Ministry of the Interior, and the gate near the Panjshir Petrol station on the northwest side of the airport, should leave the airport area immediately,” the embassy said in a statement. | |
| The dire warning comes several hours after US President Joe Biden said that he was informed by US military commanders that another attack on the troops may come within the next 24-36 hours. | |
