CIA-Backed Afghan Death Squads Massacred Children Inside Religious Schools in Campaign of Terror
A shocking exposé in The Intercept reveals CIA-backed
death squads in Afghanistan have killed children as young as 8 years
old in a series of night raids, many targeting madrassas, Islamic
religious schools. In December 2018, one of the death squads attacked a
madrassa in Wardak province, killing 12 boys, of whom the youngest was 9
years old. The United States played key roles in many of the raids,
from picking targets to ferrying Afghan forces to the sites to providing
lethal airpower during the raids. The Intercept reports this was part
of a campaign of terror orchestrated by the Trump administration that
included massacres, executions, mutilation, forced disappearances,
attacks on medical facilities, and airstrikes targeting structures known
to house civilians. “These militias … were established in the very
early days of the Afghan War by CIA officers,
many of whom had been brought back into the fold after the invasion of
Afghanistan in late 2001 who had previously been working in Afghanistan
during the 1980s,” says reporter Andrew Quilty. “This network of
militias was set up and appear to be entirely under the control of the CIA but made up entirely of Afghan soldiers.”
Blogger's note: The CIA does its own thing, and may not have informed President Trump of these actions. What would be the CIA's aim? One thing for sure is that they have no love for President Trump. Just a few thoughts. Goodman also dislikes President Trump. The above is not an excuse for the President, but only questions to also be raised.
