#2 Raziq was no certainly no choir boy. His father had been murdered by the Taliban in Kandahar Province so he had plenty skin in the game, or hatred for the Taliban as it were. He was particularly brutal during his tenure as the Afghan Border Patrol (ABP) Chief.

He had an excellent network of paid informants in the Provence. Getting detained by the ABP anywhere around Spin was a sure fire ticket to Khashoggiland.
