Her I form, a major step toward obtaining a green card, was approved. Abdul called his brother in Kabul, who also worked for the U. They returned home that night, unsuccessful. Abdul maintains that both the Taliban and Afghan soldiers purposely turned them away because they recognized them as Hazara.
The Hazara have been subjected to centuries of abuse that includes many cases of documented ethnic cleansing and systemic discrimination. The next day, Abdul told his wife and brother to go back to the airport.
Send me pictures. Where are you at? Where are you guys at? One of them would reply within seconds, maybe a minute. But when he asked for an update at about a. Then five minutes. Then Abdul logged onto Facebook and saw a post from a friend in Kabul claiming there was a bombing at the airport. He was the one who had instructed his wife and brother to go to the airport. I would never forgive myself.
They tried once more to go to the airport, and despite them both showing Afghan soldiers their proper documents, they were turned away. His first thought was to tell his wife and brother to leave Kabul and find a way into Pakistan.

Abdul considered booking a flight to Pakistan himself, leaving any documentation that might suggest his American ties behind before crossing the border.
Without his passport, he could smuggle his wife and brother through eastern Afghanistan. But it was too dangerous. So Abdul has resorted to calling people and knocking on doors.
He called the offices of Utah Reps. Chris Stewart and John Curtis, Sen. By James Nelson. Officials said it would take two days for the drills to bore through some 1, feet metres of rock, sandstone and coal to where they believe the six are stranded -- dead or alive -- in the mine.

The miners have not been heard from since the mine, located in the Manti-La Sal National Forest in remote central Utah, caved in early on Monday.
Officials say they could potentially survive for weeks in an underground chamber if they were not killed by the initial collapse. On Tuesday, rescuers were forced to abandon what was thought the fastest way to reach the miners, using an old mine shaft, after falling rock made it too dangerous. Get help. Privacy Policy.
