One of the entry gates to Kabul airport has been hit by a large explosion only hours after western intelligence agencies warned of an imminent terrorist threat.
The blast, which was confirmed by Pentagon press secretary John Kirby on Twitter appears to have occurred at the Abbey Gate into the international airport, was followed by gunfire and came as several western countries announced the end of their evacuation flights citing an acute threat of an attack possibly within hours.

I THINK this was prior to the explosion.

Shots fired at Kabul airport were to disperse crowds, Italian government confirms
More on the shots fired at Kabul airport:
Quoting intelligence reports, the Italian government has confirmed the shots were not fired at the plane, instead they were fired to disperse the crowd at the airport, Reuters reports.
Earlier, a defence source said the C-130 transporter, carrying almost 100 Afghan civilians, had come under attack minutes after take off.

According to initial reports there appeared to be Afghan casualties from the explosion close to where people hoping to flee were queueing for visa processing but none among western forces.

Just when you think our actions or inactions couldn't get any worse.

Several pics on Twitter of injured people being carried in wheelbarrows.

Reports indicate that there were dozens of #British citizens at the entrance where the blast occurred at #Kabul airport.

It keeps being said but may God have mercy and watch over these people. I’m just about speechless beyond that.

The only way for people to wake up is for them to see the wheels come off

I'm coming from a more neutral/moderate perspective than most on the OT. I'm right leaning, but not a huge Trump guy.
And I have told everyone around me that this is one of the biggest Presidential blunders in the history of our country and should be met with absolute outrage from the American public.
So far we have:
- Lost Afghanistan in a week, which we spent trillions of dollars, decades, and thousands of American lives to take and institute democracy.
- Armed our sworn enemy with hundreds of billions of high tech military equipment and weaponry
- Lost all goodwill from allies in the region, which we desperately need
- And likely created a bunch of more enemies/extremists for the way we left them out to dry. The locals are being murdered and raped. What do you think they will think of America for allowing this to happen?
I was for leaving Afghanistan for the most part (maybe keeping a big base), but the way this was handled is an all-time frick up. Holy shite.

This relationship is going to take some work to repair.
