U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.

Is Dr. Fauci making these decisions? He changes his mind more than he changes his underwear.

Well they’ve been aware of a possible Isis attack so this might be something of that order creating the security alert.

The British government just issued a similar warning:

The security situation in Afghanistan remains volatile. There is an ongoing and high threat of terrorist attack. Do not travel to Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport. If you are in the area of the airport, move away to a safe location.

I can see the Embassy being a possible target. As for Taliban and Isis mix...add in Alqeda as well. They’re all in the vicinity and likely rubbing shoulders.

I’m sure Biden’s Taliban pals will consider this and grant more time after the 8/31 deadline to get westerners out (sarc). I think the Taliban are incredulous as they realize just how weak the regime actually is. Biden’s America has been exposed as a paper tiger. There is no debate about it and the Taliban, Iranians, Chinese and Russians will increasingly take advantage of that fact. I wonder how the people in Taiwan view this capitulation?

ISIS wants to launch a terror attack against the crowds outside the airport.
