How Russian military intelligence used the Taliban to kill members of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
The GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, spent years financing terrorist groups in Afghanistan to target U.S. and coalition forces.
An investigation by The Insider has not only confirmed the existence of the program but also identified GRU officers responsible for its coordination.
The Russian intelligence agency used a gemstone trading company as a front to run a network of Afghan couriers who delivered money to Taliban fighters and other militant groups.
Once their missions were completed, the couriers were provided with Russian documents and granted asylum in Russia.
