WASHINGTON (Reuters) -More than 100 U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents evacuated to Abu Dhabi from Afghanistan aboard a charter flight are expected to fly on to the United States on Thursday, the State Department and flight organisers said.

U.S. officials on Wednesday were working to verify the accuracy of the list of passengers aboard the charter plane, the State Department said, after the flight's organizers said Washington denied it landing rights.
