Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that BRIC NEWS confirmed US govt mistakenly transferred $239,000,000 to Taliban.
The Taliban has received at least $239 million in U.S. aid aimed at counterterrorism after State Department vetting procedures fell apart, according to a government watchdog.
The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds.
Investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan, Judicial Watch reported.
The funds came from State Department divisions called “Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor” and “International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.”
The report identified more than two dozen instances where these divisions failed to keep proper vetting records.
