US, UK warn their citizens to avoid Kabul hotels citing 'security threats' after a mosque blast that Daesh claimed killed dozens in Afghanistan's Kunduz city
The United States and Britain have warned their citizens to avoid hotels in Afghanistan, days after dozens were killed at a mosque in an attack claimed by Daesh.
"US citizens who are at or near the Serena Hotel should leave immediately," the US State Department said, citing "security threats" in the area. The Taliban, which seized power in August is seeking international recognition and assistance to avoid a humanitarian disaster and ease Afghanistan's economic crisis.
But, as the group transitions from a rebel army to a governing power, they are struggling to contain the threat from the Afghanistan chapter of Daesh.
