Afghanistan Live Updates: Biden, Kabul Airport and The Taliban – The New York Times

Taliban militants are intensifying a search for people they believe worked with U.S. and NATO forces, including among the crowds of Afghans at Kabul s airport, and have threatened to kill or arrest their family members if they cannot find them, according to a confidential United Nations document.

The document, from a U.N. threat-assessment adviser, directly contradicted the militant group s public assurances that it would not seek revenge on members and supporters of the toppled government.

There were multiple reports that the Taliban had a list of people they wanted to question and punish and their locations, the document said.

Already, the document said, the Taliban had been going door to door and arresting and/or threatening to kill or arrest family members of target individuals unless they surrender themselves to the Taliban.
