Taliban fighters have access to a large amount of biometric data of persons who helped the US and their NATO allies or worked with Indian intelligence, several media reports said. This crucial data landed into their hands courtesy of the US, who left the embassy amid a chaotic evacuation.
These reports come only days after it was found that US officials in Afghanistan had "naively" handed over a "kill list" comprising names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to the Taliban so they could be allowed to enter the Taliban-controlled perimeter around the Hamid Karzai International Airport. What the documents actually did was help identify Afghan staff members and job applicants who were inadvertently left behind at the abandoned British Embassy in Kabul.
The US had started collecting and collating data from some 3,00000 Afghans in 2009, mainly prisoners and Afghan soldiers. Then a biometrics centre was opened in November 2010. US officials aimed to compile information on as many as 25 million Afghans that would allow them to spot Taliban infiltrators. But it evolved into a way to identify Afghans hired or visited by the US forces. Eventually, everyone who worked with the Afghan government or the US military -- including interpreters, drivers, nurses, and secretaries -- was fingerprinted and scanned for the biometric database over the past 12 years.
The Afghan Automated Biometric Identification System (AABIS), administered by about 50 Afghans at the Interior Affairs ministry in Kabbul, registered fingerprints, iris scans, and other biographical data. The data were registered using hand-held scanners. Report has it that the US forces had 7,00 pieces of equipment.
After news broke about the security lapse, US officials have not confirmed how many of the 7,000 scanners were left behind or whether the biometric database can be remotely deleted.

3,00000 ???
“or whether the biometric database can be remotely deleted.”
It can. It won’t.
No. This was purposeful, as NO ONE involved with this sort of information could be this careless.
Furthermore US military leaders who ordered the pull out without a plan for the destruction or removal of US military equipment and weapons need to be court marshaled and face prison time. 13 US soldiers have been killed by our own explosives and weapons. This is inexcusable and accountability needs to happen. Many more people will die because our military leaders left the most deadly and effective weapons and equipment to our enemies.
It’s called giving aid and comfort to the enemy. The Constitution has a word for that.
What happened hear is the very definition of treason. If this is not treason then treason does not exist.
You have inside info on the PRC? After what XiJinBiden did to so many Afghan friends and even Americans 'in country,'? FUGETABOUTIT! He🏏🏏, what AMERICAN would want to work at a foreign station, with ALL THESE TRAITORS ABOUT, IN WASHINGTON, DC?
No to worry, though. Stupidity doesn't end at the 49th parallel. The Prime Mistake of Kanadahar, Justin,(e) True-dope, announced yesterday, that all CAF personnel involved in the rescue of Canadians and 'friendlies' in Afghanistan, are back in Canada. The problem is, THERE ARE STILL AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF CANADIANS 'IN COUNTRY'!
So, the last RCAF flight left Kabul on Friday, August 27th. XiJinBiden plans to complete the surrender on August 31. WHY IN THE NAME OF SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD DID THE CAF LEAVE 5 DAYS EARLY? There was still time to get these citizens out!
If Joseph Stolen were consciously TRYING to destroy the USA, what would he do differently?
