Foreigners can go through it, but Afghans are not allowed to take the road," Mr. Mujahid said, without clarifying how long that policy would be in effect.He urged the crowds of Afghans thronging the airport in hopes of leaving the country to instead go home, saying that the Taliban would "guarantee their security," and noted that there was no list of people targeted for reprisals.
