Taliban 'carrying out highly organised manhunt'
BBC News ^ | August 19, 2021

The Taliban are carrying out a highly-organised door-to-door hunt for people on their wanted list, says the head of the group providing intelligence to the UN.

"What we have seen is that the Taliban, in advance of moving into all major cities in Afghanistan, not just Kabul, is that they have a more advanced intelligence system," Christian Nellemann, of the Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses, told the BBC.

"They have lists of individuals and even within the very first hours of moving into Kabul they began a search of former government employees - especially in intelligence services and the special forces units."

He said that, not only could this lead to mass executions, but also a "mass revealing of our methods and the intelligence networks that the West has provided. So this could undermine severely a number of our Western intelligence services."

The Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses’ report to the UN also said the Taliban are recruiting new informer networks to collaborate with their regime.

People have underestimated the Taliban for decades. The dumb, the unobservant, and those without persistence and initiative do not live long in that area and environment.

PDJT knew how to deal with them. He describes them as “good fighters’ and “very smart”, as well as skilled negotiators.

We Americans have often had our asses handed to us from underestimating our adversaries, from Bull Run, to Kasserine Pass, to Vietnam to this day.

Taliban 'carrying out highly organised manhunt'

The Taliban lied when they said they weren't going to do that? Who would have thought? </sarcasm>

“Taliban ‘carrying out highly organised manhunt’

CNN: Specifically, the Taliban is in need for people to help run their ageing infrastructure.

Good, perhaps we can then defund them.

I posted this in another thread- Matt Zeller, Afgahn vet, Biden voter and organizer of “No One Left Behind,” slapping brian willaims/msnbc into the next decade and calling biden a liar, as well as talking about the BBC headline in depth. 10 minute interview worth the watch:

Wow, good thing Team Biden didn't LEAVE BEHIND our sensitive BIO-METRIC EQUIPMENT used to discern the U.S.-friendly Afghans from the Taliban sympathizer Afghans via RETINAL SCANS...

Oh WAIT.. You mean Team Biden DID leave this equipment behind for the Taliban to use for the MANHUNTS?

HOLY SH!T!!!!

Yes, exactly. They knew that we were going to bug out and they had all their plans made beforehand, and their lists ready to go.

God help those waiting for help, depending on ******g criminal idiot Biden and his band of ******g criminal idiots, including people who have somehow attained high rank in the US military and indeed in one case cabinet level.

Our intelligence services have proven themselves deep state swamp loving hacks and Biden repays their loyalty with betrayal of source and method.

Just how many Hunter Biden paintings did the Taliban buy to get Afghanistan, $80 Billion in equipment, hostages, etc.

Sounds efficient and effective implementation of a firm policy objective. Maybe if we ask them nicely the Taliban will agree to train the brass at the Pentagon.
