U.S. Embassy Staff In Afghanistan Are Evacuated To Kabul's Airport

A U.S. Chinook helicopter flies over the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sunday. Taliban fighters entered the outskirts of the Afghan capital, further tightening their grip on the country as panicked workers fled government offices and helicopters landed at the U.S. Embassy.

The U.S. State Department says all personnel at its Embassy in Kabul have been evacuated to the airport. The perimeter of Hamid Karzai International Airport is controlled by the U.S. military.
