The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the U.S. military are reportedly working to rescue Americans left in Afghanistan.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the CIA and military are using helicopters and ground troops to evacuate Americans. The CIA has begun covert operations in recent days to reach Americans both in and outside of Kabul, U.S. and other officials said.
The outlet noted that American military helicopters are being used but under the CIA’s control, a normal move in these kinds of operations.
The Washington Post reported this week that CIA Director William J. Burns secretly met with the Taliban’s leader, Abdul Ghani Baradar, in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday.
The Post pointed out that the discussions likely focused on the August 31 deadline for the U.S. military to complete its evacuation of American citizens and allies of Afghanistan.
