Stunning admission by the Pentagon: Americans are beaten in Afghanistan after the Taliban swept across the country to take power.
A U.S. military official said Saturday the military was aware of reports that Americans were beaten by Taliban and the Pentagon press secretary John Kirby says that “we know of a small number of cases where some Americans … have been harassed, and in some cases, beaten.”
“We don’t believe it’s a very large number, and most Americans who have their credentials with them are being allowed through the Taliban checkpoints,” he adds.
