Despite claims of an ‘amnesty,’ Taliban militants are now knocking on fearful people’s doors as they intensify their hunt for people who worked with the US, UK, and Nato forces in Afghanistan.
Relatives of civil servants, consular staff, and interpreters are being threatened by the Taliban, while other jihadists are stopping people from going to Kabul airport.
The UN report leaked to the New York Times reveals the Taliban are “arresting and/or threatening to kill or arrest family members of target individuals unless they surrender themselves to the Taliban.”
The report, which was filed to the UN by the Norwegian Center for Global Analyses, contained a letter dated August 16 from the Taliban to a senior counter-terror official who had worked with British and US officials.
The senior counter-terror official is being ordered to report to the Military and Intelligence Commission of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. But if he failed to do so, the letter warned that his family “will be treated based on Shariah law.”
Senior officials in Afghanistan told The Telegraph that they have gone into ‘deep hiding’ as they suspect the Taliban have gained access to government employee databases.
Despite the terror group’s claims of an ‘amnesty,’ horrifying video showed them spraying assault rifle bullets only yards away from children and women near the airport.
Terrifying footage has emerged of the militants carrying out executions of former government officials who already surrendered.
Another senior official in the former government told The Telegraph that he had been targeted for his view that girls and women should receive proper education.
He has also learned that the militants have visited his home more than ten times in the last three days, asking his loved ones for information.
“My house (has) now become probably their hourly point of search and my kids are deeply terrified,” he said. “The moment they knock at the door all kids start crying. They think they will be killed.”
