Before the morning rush hour began, AFP staff heard the sound of rockets exploding over the capital.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The missiles were fired from a car in north Kabul, according to a security official who worked in the administration deposed by the Taliban two weeks ago. In the north, where the Hamid Karzai International Airport is located, smoke could be seen rising above buildings.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thousands of people rushed to Kabul&#8217;s airport on Monday, desperate to flee Afghanistan. The Taliban have taken control of the capital. At the airport, chaotic situations were witnessed, with at least five persons reported murdered.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, claiming he wanted to avoid bloodshed. After several hours of delays, evacuation flights commenced on Monday evening, according to the US. US President Joe Biden defended his choice to leave Afghanistan in a speech on Monday.</p>
<p>President Biden stated that he remains firm by his decision. After 20 years, he has learned the hard way that withdrawing from the US military is never a wise idea. That is why they haven&#8217;t left.</p>
