In the US, they fear the recruitment of Russian fighters among Afghan military
At the same time, the report of the Republicans from the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the US House of Representatives states that the Presidential Administration Joe Baiden did not give the proper importance of evacuation. About it reports Reuters. Senators' fears are based on the fact that former Afghan law enforcement officers are well aware of US operations, so their recruitment can be "a serious risk for national security.
" "They know the tactics, methods and procedures of the US military and intelligence services . . . This is especially relevant, given the reports that some former Afghan servicemen have escaped to Iran," the Republicans said. The report states that Biden administration did not pay priority attention to the evacuation of Afghan special forces trained in the United States and other elite units during the operation to withdraw and evacuate US troops at Kabul International Airport.
Senators also criticized Biden's administration in the context that the White House ignored the advice of US military leaders, and therefore could not respond adequately to the Taliban's violation of the Troops withdrawal agreement concluded in 2020. Moreover, the information that the White House was waiting for a few hours to make key evacuation decisions before the Taliba was captured by Kabul.
We will remind, US intelligence services eliminated the leader of "Al-Qaeda" Aiman Al-Zavahiri, who was involved in the organization of a terrorist attack on September 11. He was killed on the balcony of his house in Kabul, releasing two rockets from the drone. Russia intends to expand cooperation with the Taliban terrorist organization that seized power in Afghanistan.
