Exclusive: Biden Officials at Kabul Airport Warned American Rescue Plane To Turn Back or Be Shot Down

A private airplane that was flying into Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul, Afghanistan to rescue stranded American citizens and Afghan allies allegedly was told to turn back or they would be shot down.
In the past 24 hours, American officials in charge of giving clearance at the airport told fellow Americans they would be fired upon if they didn’t leave, Mary Beth Long, a former Department of Defense official, told American Greatness in an exclusive interview.
The plane ended up landing elsewhere in Afghanistan, she said. Now Americans are reportedly being advised to leave Kabul completely as the Taliban is expected to start rounding people up after the last of the U.S. military leaves.
Long, who was responsible for Afghan security policy from 2005-2008, and operated a business office in Kabul from 2010-2017, has been actively involved with the rescue efforts in the country. She wrote about “The Chaos and Confusion in Kabul” eight days ago in American Greatness.
Some American citizens, she said, have made the perilous journey to HKIA four times, only to be turned away at the gates each time. As a result of the Biden Administration’s inexplicable actions, some members of the military, and other officials have “gone rogue” and taken matters into their own hands, Long said.
Sgt. Nicole Gee, one of 12 Marines slain in the ISIS suicide bombing last week, was particularly helpful in sneaking Americans through the gate, in defiance of orders, according to Long.
