American soldiers suspected of indirect financing Taliban


DOD money spent on health food and weapons , supplied to Afghanistan, are in support of the Taliban fighters .
This is stated in the report , Democrat Congressman John Tirni that gives The Washington Post.

The study comes to a contract worth over 2 billion dollars to the organization of so-called Host Nation Trucking - uninterrupted supply chain of food and various goods for the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

To ensure safe transport of military cargoes have to use the services of local security firms , which often directs its profits to finance the Taliban. This security force companies to use their services under threat , that is , in fact, engaged in extortion .

Also like transportation scheme leads to the need for transport companies to pay bribes to local officials to pass unhindered by trucks , resulting in growth of corruption in Afghanistan and negates the efforts of the U.S. legal construction of society in the country .

As measures to control the situation , the Ministry of Defence offers Tirni independently take control of the cargo because transport companies have their own resources to protect the supply of goods .

Recall that in October last year the media has learned that the Italian secret services paid Taliban field commander to maintain visibility of peace in areas of Afghanistan, they had to ensure the safety of Italian soldiers .
