The top-ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee says the Taliban terrorist group won’t allow Americans to leave from an airport in the northern part of Afghanistan, while the White House chief of staff estimates that about 100 Americans still remain in the country.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said that six airplanes carrying Americans and Afghans are sitting at the Mazar-i-Sharif airport in Afghanistan but can’t depart because the Taliban is “holding them hostage for demands.”
