The Taliban is intensifying its hunt for all people who worked and collaborated with Nato and US forces in Afghanistan, according to a United Nations report.
The BBC reports that the confidential paper was produced by the Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses, which provides the UN with intelligence information.
People with positions in the military, police and investigative units were most at risk.
Simultaneously, the Taliban were recruiting new informer networks to collaborate with the new regime.
The BBC said it had seen the document, which stated that the Taliban ‘are arresting and/or threatening to kill or arrest family members of target individuals unless they surrender themselves to the Taliban’.
The document states that the Taliban has been ‘conducting advance mapping of individuals prior to take-over of all major cities’.
The militants are reportedly screening individuals while permitting some evacuation of foreign personnel from Kabul airport.
