U.S. anti-missile defenses intercepted rockets fired at Kabul's airport, even as residents of the capital criticized recent airstrikes launched by the United States after reports the strike had also killed civilians
The last U.S. troops are due to leave Kabul by Tuesday after the biggest air evacuation in history. The United States and its allies have flown out 122,000 people, including their own citizens and Afghans who helped them over 20 years of war.Two U.S. officials said "core" diplomatic staff were among 6,000 Americans to have left. They did not say whether this included top envoy Ross Wilson, expected to be among the last civilians to depart.
In recent days Washington has warned of more attacks, while carrying out two air strikes. It said both hit Islamic State targets, one thwarting an attempted suicide bombing in Kabul on Sunday by destroying a car packed with explosives, but which Afghans said had struck civilians. The Taliban, Islamist militants who carried out public executions and banned girls and women from school or work when last in power 20 years ago, have said they will safeguard rights and not pursue vendettas. They say once the Americans leave, the country will be at peace for the first time in more than 40 years.
