LONDON (AP) — The last week has been a frantic mix of fear and frustration for people in west London with family members trying to get out of Afghanistan. Many are seeking information from an organization established to support Afghan and Central Asian refugees the same year a U.S.-led international force drove the Taliban from power after the 9/11 attacks. Now that the Taliban are back in control of Afghanistan, a 52-year-old man in London says he would do anything to fulfill his sister’s pleas to get her out of Kabul. Like other nations, Britain is racing to evacuate Afghan allies as well as its own citizens from Afghanistan.
