FEARING THE WORST: The crowds of desperate Afghans remain outside the gate at the Kabul airport, even as the United States and European allies warn their citizens to stay away in the face of a credible threat of an imminent terrorist attack from the Afghanistan branch of ISIS.

The ominous security threat is reportedly forcing the U.S. to end its military airlift days early with hundreds of Americans still in Kabul, and according to CNN, while 150 Americans are trying to get to the airport today, where all gates are closed.
