Kabul foreigners land in Doha on commercial flight

An estimated 200 foreigners, including Americans, left Afghanistan on a commercial flight out of Kabul on Thursday with the cooperation of the Taliban, the first such large-scale departure since U.S. forces completed their withdrawal over a week ago.

The Qatar Airways flight to Doha marked a breakthrough in coordination between the U.S. and Afghanistan's new rulers.  A senior U.S. official said the Taliban's foreign minister and deputy prime minister helped facilitate the flight. 

Americans, U.S. green card holders and other nationalities, including Germans, Hungarians and Canadians, were aboard, the official said.
