According to reports, opposition lawmakers were shocked by the apparent security breach, especially after the local British army in Kabul reported a surge in Afghans trying to leave the country with forged documents and passports. However, according to reports, government officials stated that the fact that the person was identified indicates that the no-fly watch list is working.
The other four people on the list have been prevented from leaving Kabul Airport, a news that caused some consternation among British conservatives.
Sky News reported that a person on the British no-fly list managed to board and leave #Kabul Airport Now in Birmingham. Personal identity has not yet been determined, but if he/she does pose a threat to the UK, he/she cannot be repatriated. We are trapped by them. Good news?
