People still waiting at Kabul airport after blasts

Anxious to leave, many Afghans are still waiting outside Kabul International Airport to flee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. They wait outside the airport, even after two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted crowds of Afghans flocking to the airport. An Afghan official says at least 60 Afghans were killed and 143 wounded. One man said he believes an explosion could occur at any time, but he still took the risk to come to the airport. U.S. officials said 13 U.S. service members also died, including 11 Marines and a Navy medic. A U.S. official said the attack was believed to have been carried out by the Islamic State group.
