Reference News Network reported on September 21 that, according to the Spanish "El Pais" website on September 19, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of intervention has left rich booty for the Taliban. The website of digital magazine interception quoted military sources as saying that the Taliban also obtained the biometric equipment used by the U.S. military - a measuring instrument called "portable identity verification equipment" (hiide).
Reported that this is a camera type device that can scan iris, fingerprint or facial features. The Taliban may have access to a huge database built by the same technology. As explained by a study in the MIT Technology Review, the use of this information can accurately, quickly and easily identify hundreds of thousands of people associated with the former Afghan government.
The report points out that the U.S. military has been using the hiide system in Afghanistan for many years. First, it is to establish a large database about terrorists. Later, it is also used to help the Afghan government combat fraud (such as "ghost soldiers" who eat empty pay) and help the authorities safely pay employees' wages. The database of hiide system is theoretically located in the United States and should be secure. In contrast, less secure is the database established by the Afghan authorities (with the help of the United States), which contains biometric information of Afghan officials (including police and soldiers) and those seeking government positions. The information of all these people has been registered.
A Spanish official with rich experience in Afghanistan and familiar with biometric systems said: "although the Taliban fighters give the impression that they are ragged, they already have the highest level of technical capability." although the official believes that the Americans destroyed the Afghan database they helped develop before leaving, he believes that there is a phenomenon of "double loyalty" in the region (in addition to being loyal to the government, the people are also loyal to the warlords of their tribes or areas) it may lead to the "key" of the hiide system falling into the hands of the Taliban.
