Report: Taliban escalates search for Afghans who helped NATO

According to the report, the Taliban has a list of people they want to arrest. Those most at risk are people who worked for the Afghan defense, police and intelligence services, according to the report from the Rhipto Center, which cooperates with the UN.

– They target the families of those who refuse to surrender, and persecute and punish their families according to sharia law, says the head of the Rhipto center Christian Nellemann to AFP.

The rebel group has gone from door to door in Kabul to look for people they want to arrest, according to the report.

Taliban fighters are also stopping people on their way to Kabul airport, and they have set up checkpoints in major cities.
