The changes come as the U.S. Embassy issued a new security warning Saturday telling citizens not to travel to the Kabul airport without individual instruction from a U.S. government representative. Officials declined to provide more specifics about the IS threat but described it as significant, and said there have been no confirmed attacks as yet.

Moon, I watched this go from a rampant twitter rumor to this AP confirmation, which I hope is entirely incorrect

I thought they were in Iraq. Did they get airlifted in by Iraq or or they in Afghanistan as well? I have been at work and most have missed something.
