There is every chance that as further reporting comes in, we may be able to change the advice again and process people anew, but there\u2019s no guarantee of that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/europe-france-evacuations-kabul-9e457201e5bbe75a4eb1901fedeee7a1\">said<\/a> several countries are urging people to avoid the airport, \u201cwhere Belgium said there was a threat of a suicide bombing. \u2026 [O]vernight, new warnings emerged from Western capitals about a threat from Afghanistan\u2019s Islamic State group affiliate, which likely has seen its ranks boosted by the Taliban\u2019s freeing of prisoners during their blitz across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied that any attack was imminent, the AP reported. \u201cIt\u2019s not correct,\u201d he wrote in a text message after being asked about the warnings.<\/p>\n<p>But the Taliban has been locking down control of the airport, and on Thursday, armed militants sprayed a water cannon at people gathered at an airport gate in an effort to push them back. Some militants also fired tear gas canisters into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Late Wednesday, the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan warned Americans at three airport gates to leave immediately because of an unspecified security threat, the AP said.&nbsp; \u201cAustralia, Britain and New Zealand also advised their citizens Thursday not to go to the airport, with Australia\u2019s foreign minister saying there was a \u2018very high threat of a terrorist attack,&#8217;\u201d the wire service reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Belgium, Prime Minister Alexander De Cross said his country had received a warning from the U.S. that a possible attack involving an explosive amid the airport crowds in Kabul might be in the works,\u201d Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received information at the military level from the United States, but also from other countries, that there were indications that there was a threat of suicide attacks on the mass of people,\u201d De Cross said, talking about the threat around Kabul airport.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the U.S., other nations are nearly done evacuating their citizens from the country. Leaders in France and Denmark also warned that the situation at the airport is rapidly deteriorating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom tomorrow evening onwards, we are not able to evacuate people from the Kabul airport,\u201d French Prime Minister Jean Castex told RTL Radio in France, Fox reported.&nbsp;Danish Defense Minister Trine Bramsen also warned: \u201cIt is no longer safe to fly in or out of Kabul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
