An Afghan American couple made it past Taliban and U.S. security checkpoints late Wednesday night with the aid of Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who has repeatedly offered his help to Americans and translators caught in the country.
The couple, who live in the Washington, D.C., area, was visiting Afghanistan for a wedding but became trapped when the country fell to the Taliban, The New York Times (NYT) reported. After repeatedly failing to reach the airport, they reached out to Cotton’s office, which gave them the name of a military contact at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Large crowds have amassed outside the airport, from where the U.S. is operating its embassy. The Taliban has set up checkpoints, preventing Americans and cleared Afghans from reaching the airport. “Pushing through the crowd was like killing yourself,” the wife reportedly said.
