The president of Turkey said Friday his administration continues to weigh its response to a Taliban request for technical support with operations at Kabul airport, with security the key issue, according to Turkish media.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters at a press conference that the Taliban had asked Turkey to help run operations at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, where a deadly terror attack Thursday killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 60 Afghan civilians.
