An earlier version of this story said at least 200 dual nationals boarded a commercial flight out of Kabul on Thursday. More than 200 were granted permission to leave on a Qatar Airways charter flight, but it is unclear how many people were able to board the plane.

Ok, do they have any other details? How many were stopped, by whom and for what reason?
I checked out the NHK website and can only find an article of the 9th.

Do they have videos of their daily TV news feeds on their site? I looked around, but it's a bit of a mess.
I tried searching, but can't find any other source to confirm what you heard. However, the Washington Post has added a correction to an earlier article about the details of the flight and passengers. So, the situation is definitely murky.
