Focus put up a news piece this morning and said that the German government has approved the use of KSK forces to go into Kabul, with the use of their helicopters, and pull-out/rescue Germans (away from the airports and in the urbanized areas). KSK? I'd describe them as the elite special forces of German military, who have the primary duty of securing a terror event (like the Munich Olympics episode).
Risk? Yeah, this goes to the top level of risk.
How many Germans are still in the country, waiting for an exit? The gov't simply says a mid-range 3-digit number.
This likely escalating matters? If you go and mention that the French and British are doing the same thing? Yeah.
I would speculate that by the middle of next week.....at least a gun-battle or two will take place in the city, with one of these rescue groups and the Taliban. This will only speed up the end.
