U.S. to Begin Afghan Evacuations for Allied Interpreters

Details on flight destinations, numbers, and safety measures remain undisclosed amid security concerns. Gen. Scott Miller warned of rapid Taliban gains and potential civil conflict as planning proceeds. Tens of thousands could be affected, with thousands already in the special immigrant visa pipeline and talks of a third country or U.S. territory hosting evacuees during visa processing.
