The woman said the Taliban was apparently going door-to-door 'trying to see if anybody has the blue passport.'
Nasria described how the Taliban prevented her and her husband from entering the airport as U.S. forces were carrying out evacuations of U.S. citizens and Afghan allies.
"Our troops were literally at the gate just waiting for us to continue walking and they had blocked us," she said."There was a time where like, I went past them and started walking as fast as I can, and they started shooting right by my leg and told me to come back." Her husband, who is an Afghan national, at one point pleaded with the Taliban to let Nasria go on her own but she refused because she's pregnant and knew she would never return to Afghanistan.Nasria said the State Department has told her to stay where she is andbut she expressed skepticism following her experience.
"If I was only 15 steps away from the airport, and I was told people are going to come out of the airport to get me - so what hope am I supposed to have now?" she said.
