About 100 American citizens and legal permanent residents who wish to evacuate Afghanistan are still stuck in the country while waiting for a flight back to U.S.-held grounds, a senior State Department official announced on Monday.
The official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said they are working to get people safely out of the war-torn nation, but the Taliban’s “unpredictability” on who is allowed to leave is holding back the rescue operation.
