Former British Army Col. Ash Alexander-Cooper, who served as an adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs, reported on Tuesday that an Afghan sniper who worked with British special forces was hunted down by the Taliban and brutally executed in front of his family in Kabul.
Alexander-Cooper told the Times of London the slain sniper was a 28-year-old father of five who had been hiding in Kabul since the Taliban takeover. The victim, identified only as “N” to protect his family from further brutality, belonged to an elite Afghan military unit that was “very effective and mentored by the British.”
Alexander-Cooper said the victim was “shot multiple times, executed in front of his family” when the Taliban found him. He noted all of N’s children are under 9 years of age, and the youngest is a ten-day-old baby.
“For those leaders still unsure, this is not a game, ‘N’ was executed by the Taliban in cold blood just a few hours ago. His crime? Years of loyal and professional service, mentored by British units,” he said on Twitter:

“There is no amnesty. Abandoned by us, this murder will not be the last,” Alexander-Cooper warned.
“This is the reality of the ‘new’ Taliban. Talk of inclusivity, diversity and amnesty is a joke and some are falling for it. Wake up,” he said.
A second source, a former Afghan interpreter named Rafi Hottak now living in the United Kingdom, confirmed the details about “N” and said he was a member of an Afghan special forces unit designated CF333.
Hottak said “N” was on his list of “700 Afghans who wanted to come to Britain but had been left behind.”
The Times of London additionally reported a former interpreter who worked with British forces, a 25-year-old father of four named Sharif Karimi, was kidnapped and beaten by Taliban fighters when he tried to reach the Kabul airport for an evacuation flight. Karimi was released after local elders helped his family pay a $21,500 ransom.
Amnesty to the Taliban is the same as unity to the idiot Biden regime. Murders like these are directly on the hands of idiot Biden.
one must understand that in the military the capture of a trained sniper is liken to an Olympic gold medal. they are hunted, tortured than butchered. in the end, the sniper will beg to be executed. Intelligence failure played a prodigious part in the fall of Afghan. Here is why it failed and you can blame all the IA’s agencies. They forgot the following:
1. inadequate perception of emerging threats, particular those of low probability.
2. a consequent inadequate collection against such treats.
3. breakdown of communication between collectors, analysis and agencies. typical of all IA’s .
4. failure to heed the views of the minority
5. Vulnerability to deception.
This is basic Intelligence # 101, fist day of lecture. Obviously forgotten or hidden.
How soon will the UN be condeming the Taliban as a radical group of backwards heathens and uncivilized savages
