439 Americans are still in Afghanistan, Pentagon official tells Congress


afghanistan worthy ministries(Worthy News) – There are at least 439 American citizens still in Afghanistan, a senior Pentagon official told Congress on Tuesday, upping the number from what the administration told lawmakers just last week.

Of those Americans, 196 have told the State Department they want out — far higher than the fewer than 100 that Biden officials publicly revealed in early September. Another 243 people the State Department is in contact with have not yet signaled an intent to leave, Under Secretary of Defense Colin Kahl told senators.

Sen. Ben Sasse, Nebraska Republican, said Congress was given a total figure last week of 363 Americans. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
