New Delhi, Aug 19 (TIWN) The Taliban are intensifying their hunt for people who worked for and collaborated with NATO and the US forces, according to a UN document.

Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman yesterday said the U.S. is aware of reports that the Taliban are blocking Afghans from reaching Kabul international airport, and that it contradicts public promises made by the group to allow safe passage for those wishing to leave the country. “Our team in Doha, and our military partners on the ground in Kabul, are engaging directly with the Taliban to make clear that we expect them to allow all American citizens, all third country nationals and all Afghans who wish to leave, to do so safely and without harassment,” Sherman told reporters.
