Dozens Of Afghan Evacuees Flagged For Potential Terror Ties; Two Shipped Out Of U.S.

Dozens of Afghans evacuated in the final days of U.S. military presence in Afghanistan have been flagged over potential ties to the Taliban or other terror groups.

Two flagged Afghans were shipped to Kosovo to undergo stricter scrutiny, according to NBC News.

The warnings come as U.S. officials are vetting tens of thousands of Afghans extracted from Afghanistan under the belief that the evacuees were at high-risk of retribution at the hands of the Taliban.

Of more than 30,000 evacuees from Afghanistan to the U.S., about 10,000 needed additional screening as of Friday, said the sources, and of those about 100 were flagged for possible ties to the Taliban or terror groups.

Potential terror ties is just one of a variety of serious issues officials are now struggling to address with relocating tens of thousands of Afghans airlifted from Afghanistan.

State Department officials are investigating "Numerous" cases in which children were introduced as the "Brides" of older Afghan men at processing centers in Wisconsin and the United Arab Emirates.

Officials at the intake center in the United Arab Emirates reported instances of children claiming that they were forced to marry older men in return for evacuation from Afghanistan, officials familiar with the cable told the AP. Such claims of child trafficking and sexual abuse are taken seriously, officials told the AP, but "Are anecdotal and difficult to prove, particularly amid the crush of Afghan evacuees at multiple locations in the Middle East, Europe and the United States," according to the outlet.
