Biden vague on whether US gave Taliban list of vulnerable Afghans

Official tells Politico news site names reportedly given to the group could serve as a ‘kill list’ for the Taliban.

US President Joe Biden said “there may have been” a list of names of vulnerable Afghans given to the Taliban in an effort to facilitate United States evacuations from the country, as reported by an American news site. Biden, speaking to reporters on Thursday after deadly twin bombings claimed by an ISIL (ISIS) affiliate near Kabul’s airport, said US forces have coordinated with the Taliban on several occasions to help bring evacuees to the airport. However, he said he could not say with “any certitude that there’s actually been a list of names”.
