The Taliban are conducting “targeted door-to-door visits” searching for allies of the Afghan government, according to a confidential UN document obtained by Axios.

According to the reporting, the Taliban are “intensifying the hunt-down” of these individuals and arresting or threatening family members of “target individuals” unless they are willing to surrender.

The document, written by the Norwegian Center for Global Analyses, said, “The Taliban have been conducting advance mapping of individuals prior to the take-over of all major cities.”

It continued, “There are priority lists of individuals and unit affiliations to be arrested including intelligence service, SOF units, police and armed forces.”

.”

The letter says, “If you do not report to the Commission, your family members will be arrested instead, and you are responsible for this.”

Former Afghan officials also said the Taliban has been looking through records, making lists of operatives to look for, as The New York Times reports.

The outlet notes more reports are coming out showing that the militants are “exacting swift and fatal revenge when they are found.”

ABC News’ David Muir reported on Thursday night, “Desperation in the crowds. Families holding their paperwork, their small children, flooding the roadways, trying to reach the gates of the airport, the gunfire. Some still waiting and aware that the Taliban still controls these checkpoints.”

He continued, “Across Kabul tonight, heavily armed Taliban fighters are on patrol. Their trucks bearing the white Taliban flag.”

More than 50 U.S. senators are calling on President Joe Biden to evacuate Afghan allies immediately, as IJR reported.
