US recruiting KhAD agents to use against Taliban
2001-11-05
  • The CIA is said to be recruiting former Khad (secret police) agents from the Communist Najibullah regime for operations against the Taliban.

    "While United States is facing sheer disappointment in its military campaign against Afghanistan and in its efforts to dismantle the Taliban government, Central Intelligence Agency has already started recruitment of ex Khad agents who have served during the period of Dr. Najibullah in Afghanistan to achieve the objective of dismantling Taliban regime.Reliable sources have told the PNS that US after the killing of Abdul Haq by Taliban forces, have now started preparing Shahnawaz Tanai for a leading role against the Taliban. Tanai has served as a Chief of the Khad Intelligence Network and Defence Minister during the period of former President of Afghanistan Dr. Najibullah."
    Sounds like a reasonable move to me. Keeps them off the street and it helps the war effort.
