The astonishingly quick collapse of the government, with the terror group taking over the presidential palace on Sunday night, triggered fear and panic in the capital. Thousands of people were on Monday trying to escape Kabul and the feared hardline brand of Islamic rule of the Taliban, with scenes of chaos as crowds gathered at the airport.
