The Taliban took control of several parts of Kabul airport on Friday, one of their spokespersons said, four days before the final withdrawal of American troops.

"Today, three important places of the military part of the Kabul airport have been evacuated by the Americans and are under the control of the Islamic Emirate", tweeted this spokesman, Bilal Karimi.

"Now a very small part remains" in the hands of the Americans, he added.
