Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers imposed some order around chaotic Kabul airport on Sunday, firing in the air and using batons to make sure people formed orderly queues outside the main gates and did not gather at the perimeter, witnesses said.

There were no major injuries and long lines of people were forming in front of the airport gates, the witnesses said.
