The Central Intelligence Management (CIA) of the United States with the support of special forces of the US military forces held several secret evacuation operations outside the Kabul airport. About it reports The Wall Street Journal with reference to officials from the USA.
Intelligence representatives organized terrestrial and air operations for the evacuation of Americans and Afghans, who are threatened with danger, from the capital of Afghanistan. We are talking about residents who collaborated with US military.
In the course of evacuation missions, American combat and transport helicopters were used. The US military acted together with France and Great Britain special forces fighters. According to the source of the publication, the US forces decided to carry out additional operations to save citizens, since the possibility of free departure from the country will soon disappear.
Earlier it was reported that the US authorities will develop a plan for evacuation from Afghanistan in the event that it is delayed for longer than 31 August. Pentagon Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby noted that the US military is in constant contact with the Taliban on secure evacuation issues. According to him, the shift of the deadlines may arise, because many Afghans who collaborated with the American army are still in Kabul.
