CANBERRA, Aug 26 ― There is a high threat of a terrorist attack near the airport in Kabul, Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Marise Payne said today, as Canberra urged its citizens and those with a visa for Australia to leave the area.
Late yesterday, Australia changed its advice to those in the area, which Payne said was based on heightened concerns of an attack.The warning heightens the risk that scores of Afghans holding visas for Australia could be left behind as Canberra readies to end its evacuation programme. Morrison said Australia has now evacuated about 4,000 people out of Afghanistan after another 1,200 people were flown out overnight.
