From 9/11 Encyclopedia:
In late 2001, for odd and still unexplained reasons, the US
Government and the CIA allowed to fly many Taliban- and Al-Quaeda
"members"
out of afghanistan with an own chartered plane. The story was
finally confirmed on January, 21st 2002 by the New Yorker and Times
UK:
"The United States secretly approved rescue flights by Pakistan
into Kunduz that let Taleban (Taliban) leaders
and al-Qaeda fighters escape from the besieged northern Afghanistan
city before its fall last year, New Yorker magazine reports
today.
US intelligence officials and military officers said that the
Bush Administration approved the flights and ordered US Central
Command to set up a special air corridor to ensure their safety to
allow evacuation of Pakistani soldiers and intelligence men
stranded by Northern Alliance victories...
...Mysterious flights into Kunduz were reported by Northern
Alliance officials in mid-November,
but US and Pakistani officials denied an evacuation was under
way."
