Just weeks after President Joe Biden announced he would be withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan, an Afghan translator who had helped the U.S. Army was beheaded by the Taliban. Now, others who helped Americans during the 20-year war worry they will be next as the terrorist group takes over the region.
CNN reported that that Sohail Pardis “was driving from his home in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul to nearby Khost province to pick up his sister for the upcoming Eid holiday celebrations to mark the end of Ramadan.” During the trip, Pardis’ vehicle was stopped at a checkpoint by members of the Taliban. Pardis feared for his life, having previously confided in a friend that he had received death threats from the Taliban for aiding the U.S. He accelerated his vehicle, but the Taliban shot at the vehicle, causing it to swerve and stop, according to witnesses. Members of the terrorist organization “then dragged Pardis out of the vehicle and beheaded him,” CNN reported.
