Afghan girls from US-based NGO Ascend Athletics are among hundreds of American passport and visa holders who have been trying to fly out from an airport in northern Afghanistan for more than a week, says the NGO’s founder and director Marina LeGree. A US lawmaker has accused the Taliban of stopping them from leaving Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport.
