The US Embassy in Kabul has been ordered to destroy sensitive materials and evacuate in 72 hours
* The US Embassy in Kabul has been the intelligence hub for the US's war on terror for the last 20 years but the Taliban is forcing an evacuation in 72 hours
* Some staffers have already reached the Kabul international airport
* Taliban has seized territories surrounding Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul and are within seven miles of the Embassy
* The Biden Administration increased the number of troops from 3,000 to 5,000 to to protect staffers and CIA agents as they evacuate
* The 5,000 troops include the troops already on the ground in the country
* Since its creation, the Embassy has gathered intelligence that has shaped counterterrorism military actions - such as precision drone strikes
* The Embassy also has been able to monitor the Taliban and Al Qaeda and prevented another 9/11-type attack
* Security engineers continue to burn, shred and pulverize 20 years worth of intelligence stored on electronics and in documents
The US Embassy in Kabul - the nerve center of the war on terror - is being gutted of all its sensitive material and evacuated in 72 hours, as the Taliban coils around Afghanistan's capital.
The Embassy's demise will create an intelligence void that could plunge the US into pre-9/11 blindness, unless it can find another nearby country that will allow it rebuild its spy center.
For the past 20 years, the US Embassy in Kabul has gathered vast amounts of information that shaped counterterrorism military actions - such as precision drone strikes - and prevented another 9/11-type attack.
