A U.S. Army veteran and Afghan native has been secretly working inside Afghanistan once again to help escort vulnerable civilians wanted by the Taliban to safety across the border to Pakistan, Fox News reported Friday.
The veteran, who spoke with Fox News on condition of anonymity, described his efforts in a televised interview with the network from Islamabad, Pakistan. The veteran had his face obscured for the duration of the interview.
The unnamed veteran said he traveled to Pakistan about a month ago and then illegally crossed from Pakistan into Afghanistan, where he has since gone to work helping people targeted by the Taliban escape the country. The veteran said he has brought at least 30 at-risk people over the Pakistan border.
