This morning my colleague and I drove to the Kabul airport to catch our flight to Kunduz. Getting into the boarding area was surprisingly easy. There was hardly anyone in the airport at all, aside from the guards and airline personnel who checked us in, and a few other people on my flight.

Then, as we sat at the boarding gate, my colleague's cell phone rang. It was the airline, telling her there was a bomb at the airport, the airport was closed, and to come three hours later.

IF THERE'S A BOMB AT THE AIRPORT, WHY DID THEY LET US IN???

So we trekked back to my colleague's house, where I sit down, writing this e-mail, and wondering when/if we'll be flying today.
