High Tension: The New deployments bring about Hundreds More US Troops to the Middle East

Just weeks before the United States was set to complete its military withdrawal from the Middle East, military commanders surged hundreds of more troops to Kabul saying the goal is now to evacuate U.S. diplomats and Afghans-allies, following a swift takeover of the capital by Taliban insurgents.

A U.S. defense official confirmed to VOA late Sunday that the U.S. was sending another 1,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Brigade Combat Team to Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, where U.S. government officials, civilians, and Afghans-were taking refuge from advance.
