A Glasgow cabbie has been forced to return to Scotland without his wife and children after they were unable to board an evacuation flight from Afghanistan following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.
Jan Mohammed Ahmadzai's who has lived and worked in Glasgow for 16 years, was visiting his wife and children in the Afghan capital when the city fell in August last year.
His family were authorised to join him on a flight out of Afghanistan in November, but outbreaks of violence made it too unsafe for them to get to the airport. Instead, they fled to Pakistan, the Daily Record reports.
