There were several victims in an alleged suicide attack outside Kabul airport on Thursday. A Taliban representative spoke of several dead, including several children and Taliban members. The TV broadcaster Al Jazeera reported that foreigners were also among the victims. According to a US government official, members of the US security forces were injured. In Berlin it was said in security circles that German soldiers were not affected.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense even reported two explosions outside the airport. Turkish units were not harmed. How the incident would affect the ongoing evacuations was initially unclear. Western security circles had previously warned of an increased risk situation around the airport. There were therefore indications that the Afghan branch of the Islamic State (IS) was planning attacks. The IS militia and the radical Islamic Taliban, which is now ruling Afghanistan, are enemies.
There have been people at Kabul airport for several days who want to leave the country for fear of the Taliban. The Bundeswehr completed the evacuation flights on Thursday.
