Do you know who's in charge of the Cabul Airport security?

I've read that there's a Portuguese contingent about to be deployed there, for that mission.

Nope, the Turks, before they took over it was Eurocorps who had control.

Confirmed. One Dutch KDC-10 was grounded because of engine problem, the second one was on overhaul.

The Armee de l'Air took the job. ;)
