The Taliban terrorist group has taken “full control” of almost every area near the airport in the capital of Afghanistan and is ready to take over as soon as U.S. troops depart, two senior officials from the group claimed on Friday.

One of the seniors said their forces have taken over the area with the exception of “a small part” near Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, as well as “the area where the Americans are stationed.”
