"A new U.S. report said following the collapse of Afghanistan, the Taliban acquired a national database of biometric information.

The report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said that the Taliban are using it to track down people who helped the U.S.

On this week’s edition of 'The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green', Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, said some of those captured have been killed."

"The TTP also links with the Afghan Taliban and terrorist group Al Qaeda, notes think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP).

The CEP says, 'As an ally of the Afghan Taliban, the TTP also fought the US-backed Afghan government prior to the latter’s defeat in August 2021. The TTP was founded in late 2007 by a group of Pakistani militants who had previously fought in Afghanistan alongside both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and the group has maintained close ties to both organizations since.'"

On this week’s edition of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green,” Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremist Project, sees an alarming growth in terrorism emanating from Afghanistan.

"Who was the attacker? What was his motive? What saved the attack from being much worse than it was? Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Sr. Director at the Counter Extremism Project breaks it all down."
