Times of London news hound Anthony Loyd said he found the papers scattered on the ground as he toured Kabul’s abandoned diplomatic district with a Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...escort this week.
Loyd said the documents included the name and address of a senior embassy staff member, the contact details for other employees, and the resumes and addresses of people applying to be interpreters.
He called the phone numbers he found and learned that some of the staffers had already left Afghanistan but others were still in the country, including three Afghan employees and eight family members stranded outside Kabul’s airport as they tried to leave.
The government said they were eventually found and taken to safety. The Times said the fate of at least two of the job applicants remains unknown.
