<\/a><\/p>\n“The Taliban is hunting Americans.” This is the chilling message that a 25-year-old American woman, who wants to be called “Nasria,” told Voice of America. She was not that far from the gate, where American troops were ready. However, the Taliban blocked her.<\/p>\n
When she tried to continue on, the Taliban fighters fired rounds close to her legs. They threatened to shoot her. These fighters did not want to respect the fact that she held an American passport.\u00a0 In fact, the Taliban is now going door-to-door searching for people with a “blue passport.”<\/p>\n
Representative Darrell Issa, California Republican, notified Fox News that Taliban fighters kicked Nasria in the stomach. He emphasized the fact that Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n She said the U.S. State Department told her “You will get picked up” after the flight she booked to return to the U.S. was canceled.<\/p>\n She said she and her husband tried to get to the specified location for 12 to 13 hours but the Taliban blocked them at gunpoint even as she showed them her U.S. passport.<\/p>\n “Our troops were literally at the gate just waiting for us to continue walking and they had blocked us,” she said.<\/p>\n At one point in frustration she walked as fast as she could past the Taliban security forces but they “started shooting right by my leg and told me to come back or they will shoot me.”<\/p>\n And although her husband pleaded for the Taliban to let her go without him, she refused, revealing she’s pregnant.<\/p>\n “My child is going to need a father and I’m going to need a husband by my side,” she said, adding that she knew once she left Afghanistan she would never return.<\/p>\n Despite the State Department telling her they’ll find a way to get her out of the country, she said she’s losing hope.<\/p>\n “If I was only 15 steps away from the airport and I was told people are going to come out of the airport to get me, so what hope am I supposed to have now?”<\/p>\n The Biden administration has been widely criticized not only for the frantic withdrawal and evacuation efforts that left troops vulnerable to the bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members but for leaving Americans behind as the last plane left Tuesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fox News has additional details here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
