Monday night, ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer printed a brand new document from John Sopko, the Different Inspector Normal for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), which claims the US has paid greater than $150 million to Afghan firms that may have helped finance terror assaults on U.S. infantrymen and assets in Afghanistan.

Among the forty three corporations listed by SIGAR, one is a highway building company that is believed to partially owned via a pace-setter of the Haqqani network, which used to be accountable for a 2011 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul that killed sixteen folks.

“The explanation they’ve given us is that it’s not truthful to these contractors that the evidence that we’ve introduced, and this is proof collected via the United States executive, is classed,” Sopko informed ABC News. “That’s the absurdity of it. We will more than likely attack them via drone on Monday and we’ll problem them a contract on Tuesday.”

In an interview with ABC News, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), who sits on the Senate’s Armed Services and products and International Relations committee, likened the U.S. movements to “subsidizing the Taliban, al Qaeda, the Haqqani network, these teams which can be looking to shoot and kill our infantrymen.”

Pentagon officers would not discuss the allegations with ABC News right away, however the U.S. Army issued a statement that learn, partially:

“The military takes severely any allegations of mistaken contractor activities and has lively strategies to ensure that those with whom we do business will not be assisting the insurgency or otherwise opposing U.S. and collation forces in Afghanistan.”
