Threat of Taliban attack forces closure of Kabul Airport, Air India flight diverted back to Delhi

Kabul:  An Air India plane to Kabul was today diverted back to Delhi after Afghanistan's main airport was closed because of possible dangers to aircraft in the wake of a Taliban attack on the country's Election Commission headquarters nearby.
 The Air India plane was diverted along with other planes of other carriers as the Kabul airport was closed, an Air India official told PTI.
 If the situation normalises and the airport reopens, Air India plans to send a bigger plane accommodating today's passengers on tomorrow's flight, the official said.
