NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that the threat of a terrorist act at the Kabul airport grows every day. This is reported by the Financial Times newspaper.
According to him, it is a real, and not theoretical danger from the Taliban (a terrorist organization, prohibited in Russia). “On the one hand, we would like to have as much time as possible to take out as many people as possible. However, if we stay after August 31, especially if the Taliban will not give us at least a similar similarity of silent consent, grows the threat of attacks,” said Stoltenberg .
Also, the US Embassy in Afghanistan called on compatriots to immediately leave three CPPs of the Kabul airport due to the threat of security, RIA Novosti writes.
Previously, NATO announced the completion of its mission in Afghanistan. Representatives of allies on the block remained only on the territory of Kabul airport. “Different countries have done all possible for the withdrawal of all the forces and returning all equipment,” said Stoltenberg. The NATO Secretary-General explained that part of the equipment delivered by member countries remained in Afghanistan, part was destroyed, everything that was able to take out – taken out. Stoltenberg also recalled the readiness of some countries to host Afghan refugees.
