INTERNATIONAL DESK: A UN document says the Taliban is intensifying its hunt for all people who worked and collaborated with Nato and US forces, BBC reports.
The confidential paper was produced by the Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses, which provides the UN with intelligence information.
“The Taliban are arresting and/or threatening to kill or arrest family members of target individuals unless they surrender themselves to the Taliban,” the document, seen by the BBC said.
It said that those at particular risk were people with positions in the military, police and investigative units.
“The Taliban have been conducting advance mapping of individuals prior to take take-over of all major cities,” it said.
It added that the militants were screening for individuals while permitting some evacuation of foreign personnel from Kabul airport but the situation there remained “chaotic”.
According to the report, the Taliban are recruiting new informer networks to collaborate with the new regime.
