New checkpoints guarded by fighters are blocking all routes to airport, almost sealing off the site
The Taliban has deployed extra forces and almost sealed off Kabul airport following the carnage that erupted after a suicide bomber detonated explosives into the crowd, killing 169 Afghan civilians and 13 US soldiers.
New layers of checkpoints staffed by Taliban fighters blocked all routes to the airport on Saturday, where thousands continued to gather in an attempt to board one of the few evacuation flights still leaving Afghanistan.
