KABUL/WASHINGTON, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A firefight broke out between unidentified gunmen, Western security forces and Afghan guards at Kabul airport on Monday, Germany's armed forces said, as thousands of Afghans and foreigners thronged the airport, seeking to flee Taliban rule.
One Afghan guard was killed and three were wounded in the battle at the airport's north gate, which involved U.S. and German forces, the German military said on Twitter....
...CNN reported that a sniper outside the airport had fired at Afghan guards inside the facility and they had returned fire but U.S. forces had fired back at the Afghan guards.

the UK has piped up to say their forces were not involved in the brief firefight
Isn’t it amazing that so many “people of color” be it from Afghanistan, central and South America are clamoring to enter the United States despite America being so racist?
Meanwhile, our so-called POTUS is out to lunch...
Stolen elections have consequences.
Yup, total Rat BS.
At least we now know the ROE: take out our alllies and ignore the enemy.
Sniper - wow - that’s all we need
Taliban in US garb. They have our weapons and uniforms.
The Taliban are trying out their newly aquired M107 sniper rifles.
Mohammed: “Ahmed, this is .50 humdulillah caliber!”
Ahmed: “ AlahWahoo Whackbar! Let’s try it out at the air port, we need a few ranging shots for later.”
Surrender Monkey Joe Biden should be there himself! Riding his bicycle around Kabul Airport. Its perfectly safe!
Reuters makes no mention of abandoning Bagram air base, the final US military base in Afghanistan, six weeks prior to, not AS, the Taliban took over .
Reuters second dishonest point is implying that Biden’s withdrawal is according to Trump’s plan. This is exactly what the propaganda media will continue to lie about.
if we get civilians out in the next two weeks. Joes plan will be heralded a Success. Any ripple effect creating attacks on western entities, will be Trump’s fault.
That’s one way this can play out. More likely there will be a triggering event and the Taliwackers will have thousands of hostages.
I wonder if Hillary Clintoon will invent more wizzing bullet stories.
Article is terrible.
Afghan guard, ie The Taliban?
So, a resistance fighter, ie a sniper shot a Taliban guard?
If so, then this is just the start of it.
I think you’re going to see civil war there, the likes no one could predict.
The Taliban will take hostages, sooner than later, to assure the US stays out of it.
For a few billion dollars, a few marines and nato troops and you have a relatively stable country there.
Why isn’t that story printed in the medial.
More over, no one in our military spoke up to show what a stupid crazy idea it was to close Begram airport, and sneak away in the night?
I wish we were racist, and these losers would piss off and fix their shitholes.
In a group as large as the Taliban, there will be a number of people who simply enjoy mayhem, and a number who just love killing. They’re having a big old holiday right now.
President dementedretard will speak as soon as his handlers can find a vein to hook up the IV bag with the drugs.
What the commanders on the ground are probably saying right now:

Biden said it was getting better...
This is about to melt down.
Watch for a non-US troop surge by the end of this week.
