KABUL, 29 May 2021, (TON): General Mark Milley has said “the US is “rapidly” making plans to evacuate Afghans who worked for the American military ahead of September’s troop pullout.”
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen Mark Milley expressed his fears, “A significant number of interpreters and other employees could be targeted by Taliban militants.”
As many as 18,000 Afghan nationals have applied for US visas to immigrate to the US under a special programme.
General Milley said in remarks his office released “We recognise that there are a significant amount of Afghans that supported the United States and supported the coalition, and that they could be at risk.”
Sources in Washington told that these interpreters of Pushto, Darri and Persian would be intercepting traffic from Afghanistan.
