An international effort to evacuate members of the Afghanistan national girls’ soccer team, along with their family members and soccer federation staff, suffered a crushing setback last week after a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport killed 169 Afghans and 13 US service members during a harrowing airlift. Frightened and desperate, the girls now worry whether a far-flung coalition of former US military and Intelligence officials, Congressmen, US allies, humanitarian groups and the captain of the Afghanistan women’s national team can get them and their loved ones to safety.
