Hundreds of people continue to crowd out of Kabul banks in hopes of getting some money out of ATMs or their accounts that have been inaccessible since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan.

Some, reports the Al Jazeera correspondent in the Afghan capital, arrived at 4 in the morning.

According to all news TV, there were clashes in front of some credit institutions with the Taliban who threw stones to disperse the crowd. 

Furthermore, almost all

internet and telecommunications networks in Panshir have been cut off by the Taliban

.

Local sources report this to the Bcc.

Panshir is the province in northeastern Afghanistan that has become the center of the anti-Taliban resistance.

Together with Baghlan it is the only area not controlled by them.

Meanwhile,

the United States warns its citizens in Kabul of a "specific and credible threat near the airport"

. Americans are therefore asked not to go to the airport in the Afghan capital: anyone near the airport entrances should leave them immediately, says the American embassy in Kabul.

The Taliban have announced that they will take "full control" of the Kabul airport when all US military and civilians are gone

. "We are waiting for the final nod from the Americans to take full control" of the airport, an official Taliban source told Reuters today. We have, he stressed, a team of "highly skilled technicians and engineers" to manage the airport in the Afghan capital.
