Thousands of Afghans and westerners have gathered outside the perimeter of the airport over the weeks since the Taliban took control of Kabul on August 15, toppling the Afghan government and forcing the president to flee the country. Desperate Afghans have crowded around the airport attempting to catch a flight out of the country over fear of the coming Taliban rule.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Islamic State-affiliated terrorists have been reported to be in the area, setting off security alerts among U.S. officials.
