Afghanistan: First foreigners fly out of Kabul since US pull-out



KABUL: Dozens of international passengers have flown out of Kabul in the first such flight since US forces left the country, BBC reports.

The Qatar Airways charter flight landed in the Qatari capital Doha on Thursday, with a second flight due today.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged help with evacuations during a recent visit to Qatar, the report said.

Hundreds of Afghan citizens who had helped the US military were unable to get out in last month’s US airlift, according to BBC.

Meanwhile, the Reuters news agency reports that 113 people were on the plane.
