*A award with a layover in KBL?

Searching for *A award space BOS>DEL just now on UA's website, I came across the oddest routing I've seen. It includes a five-hour layover in Kabul, Afghanistan. Screenshot attached.

I'm scarily tempted to grab it, if only for bragging rights. I'm curious, though: is this sort of thing common? I know it's not as if travel to Afghanistan is forbidden, but it seems astonishing that UA and *A would allow it to be listed as a routine layover point.

Hehe, nice one. I've seen Erbil and Kinshasha come up before, but Kabul is a whole nother level.
