Kabul, Aug 26 (EFE/EPA)-. A growing number of Western nations Thursday have warned their citizens and visa holders in Afghanistan to stay away from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul due to a “high threat” of a terrorist attack amid evacuation operations.The United States' Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the evacuation operations take place "in a hostile environment in a city and country now controlled by the Taliban, with the very real possibility of an ISIS-K attack."Blinken reiterated the intention to meet the Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, but warned the Taliban that they must honor their commitments and "provide safe passage for anyone who wishes to leave the country – not just for the duration of our evacuation and relocation mission, but for every day thereafter."
