WASHINGTON Post correspondent Susannah George said she managed to arrive at Kabul Airport to be evacuated only after British soldiers allowed her and her crew to join a group of British evacuees at a safe hideaway.
She went on: “These British forces had pushed these people back past the Taliban checkpoint and had cleared a portion of the road that allowed us this small window of opportunity to use that bit of road to get inside the military airport and get to a flight that would get us outside of Kabul.”
