Former EUPOL Afghanistan interpreter killed in Kabul

(B2) An Afghan interpreter who worked for the European Union Police Support Mission (EUPOL Afghanistan) in the 2010s was killed

This interpreter should have been welcomed in the Netherlands. He had even been registered to be transferred there. A call was sent to the interpreter on August 21 to go to Kabul airport, but he never arrived. He is " probable that the interpreter in question was killed “, according to the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ben Knapen, who confirmed this in a letter to the Second Chamber (the Dutch parliament). But he declines to give further details. " The Netherlands has no presence in Afghanistan, so it is impossible to independently determine if and by whom he was killed. »
