Hours after President Joe Biden said there was a high likelihood of a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, where thousands of people have assembled in the hopes of getting a flight out of Afghanistan, the US Embassy in Kabul has issued the following warning:
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.
U.S. citizens should avoid traveling to the airport and avoid all airport gates at this time.
