Report: Ex-Afghan President Left with so Much Cash It Didn’t Fit in His HelicopterFrances Martel 16 Aug 2021
The Russian embassy in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, claimed on Monday that former President Ashraf Ghani had fled the country with four cars and a helicopter stuffed with cash.
The embassy alleged that Ghani attempted to smuggle so much money into his helicopter that it did not physically fit into the air frame, according to Russian news agency Tass.
The Taliban, the jihadist terrorist organization that ruled Afghanistan prior to 2001, seized Kabul on Sunday after launching tens of thousands of attacks nationwide to retake the country from the former government. Taliban jihadis surrounded the capital on Sunday, prompting reports of a negotiated surrender by the Afghan government. The Taliban reportedly took over the presidential palace after Ghani abruptly fled.
The Taliban’s return to power apparently ends the 20-year-old Afghan War, which began following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States by the international terrorist group al-Qaeda. American forces invaded after the attacks due to the Taliban’s close ties to al-Qaeda, replacing the group with handpicked leaders including corrupt former President Hamid Karzai. While Ghani fled, Karzai is reportedly in Kabul attempting to negotiate a place for himself in the Taliban government.
Ghani’s whereabouts remain unknown at press time.
