The CIA has reportedly launched clandestine operations to rescue Americans who remain in Afghanistan, as the U.S. works to evacuate all personnel from the country before President Biden's self-imposed deadline of Aug. 31.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the CIA in recent days has begun covert operations to get Americans in and outside of Kabul out of the country, according to U.S. and other officials.
The operations are reportedly utilizing American military helicopters and ground troops, but they are still under the CIA's jurisdiction, which is common for such missions.
