The video surfaced soon after US withdrew its last batch from Kabul on Monday night. Soon after the final evacuation, the Taliban fighters took over Hamid Karzai Airport. They celebrated the withdrawal with gunfire.
In the video, a man can be seen dangling from the US military chopper as the Taliban fly it above the Kandahar province. The video shot from the ground doesn’t clearly show if the man tied to the chopper is alive, but reports have claimed that the Talibs had tied the body of a man they had killed.
Explained: What does US troop withdrawal mean for Afghanistan?
According to Daily Mail, the US had supplied at least 7 Black Hawk choppers to Afghanistan last month.
Soon after their hasty exit on Tuesday, the US military said that it has disabled 73 aircraft, 27 Humvees, weapons systems and other high-tech defence equipment before boarding the final flight.
The Taliban are now in full control of Kabul’s international airport after the last US plane left its runway, marking the end of America’s longest war.
The US, Afghan government and the Taliban signed an agreement, earlier this year, to end two-decade long war. The US agreed to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan till September 1. The Taliban took control Kabul and other provinces weeks before complete withdrawal of the US. Ever since the takeover, people across Afghanistan are trying to flee the country, fearing for their lives. Women activists and women football team also fled the country.
