Taliban extremists have seized sophisticated U.S. military biometric technology that could aid them in identifying Afghan nationals that assisted U.S. efforts in the nation over the past 20 years, which would put those individuals’ lives in immediate danger.
“The devices, known as HIIDE, for Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment, were seized last week during the Taliban’s offensive,” The Intercept reported, adding that sources in the U.S. Armed Forces were “worried that sensitive data they contain could be used by the Taliban.”
