Taliban kill squad hunting down Afghans — using US biometric data
NY Post ^ | 08/27/2021 | Siddharthya Roy and Richard Miniter

The Taliban has mobilized a special unit, called Al Isha, to hunt down Afghans who helped US and allied forces — and it’s using US equipment and data to do it.

Nawazuddin Haqqani, one of the brigade commanders over the Al Isha unit, bragged in an interview with Zenger News that his unit is using US-made hand-held scanners to tap into a massive US-built biometric database and positively identify any person who helped the NATO allies or worked with Indian intelligence. Afghans who try to deny or minimize their role will find themselves contradicted by the detailed computer records that the US left behind in its frenzied withdrawal.

The existence of the Al Isha unit has not been previously confirmed by the Taliban; until now the Haqqani Network, a terror group aligned with the Taliban, has not admitted its role in targeting Afghans or its use of America’s vast biometric database.

The Haqqani Network is “the most lethal and sophisticated insurgent group targeting US, Coalition, and Afghan forces,” according to the US National Counterterrorism Center.

The US separately has provided the Taliban with a list of Americans and Afghans it wants to evacuate from the country, a move one defense official told Politico was “just put[ing] all those Afghans on a kill list.”

Will any democrat heads roll over this? They should, but I doubt anyone will ever be held accountable for it. Business as usual. I despise the slime bags, responsible for this.

Imagine that after the head cheese at CENTCOM revealed they had been sharing intel with their trustworthy ‘tall-ee-bahn’ pals. And now we hear the UK left contact and job app data at their digs in CAW-BULL! What a fluster!

Too bad our side didn't have something like this so we could have secured the identities of people we were evacuating to the West...

They should have the MAC address of every single unit and be able to block those units from connecting to said massive database.

Unless the plan is to deliberately kill off all these people. That wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Or even trust us.

I would expect our allies to nuke up after this.

Whoever is responsible for that equipment within the US Embassy must be identified and brought before a court of law.

Prepare to not be surprised. It's called, "taking care of loose ends". In this case they've contracted it out to the Taliban. Whatever western data the Taliban get is by intention.

Leon Panetta speaks for the MILITARY INDISTRIAL-COMPLEX

(Leon would have the USA go back into Afghanistan) listen to him plead for more treasure to be spent for his pals in the Military Industrial Complex ... Leon doesn't care a whit about America or Americans, he cares about his place in the money pit This is the same nasty little CIA War/IMC Vietnam and Korea were and don't forget Panetta is /was CIA.
