    Taliban is threatening wanted people in their homes. 

The Taliban has intensified its search for Afghans who had helped foreign forces, as per a United Nations document. In the meantime, resistance is rising in the country, including the revolution called for by the son of the late leader Ahmad Shah Masoud.

The report, provided by the UN's threat-assessment consultants, stated that the Taliban had a list of people it wanted to question and punish, despite the movement's promises not to take revenge against dissidents.

Those who are most at risk are Afghans who held positions in the Afghan forces, the police force, and intelligence units, according to the report.

The report also explained that the Taliban went to the wanted as well as their family members' homes. The fundamentalist movement also scrutinized those wishing to get to the Kabul airport, setting up checkpoints in major cities all around the country.

On a related note, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn announced that they had taken measures to secure Afghan citizens' accounts to protect them against the Taliban.

"We temporarily removed the ability to view and search the “Friends” list for Facebook accounts in Afghanistan to help protect people from being targeted," said Nathaniel Gleicher, the head of security policy at Facebook.

On Friday, a Taliban official stated that many nations and organizations are communicating with the movement's leaders to help evacuate their nationals or employees from Kabul, Afghanistan's capital.

In a similar vein, a White House official said Friday that his country had evacuated about 3,000 people from Kabul airport yesterday.

The source said Washington evacuated about 3,000 people from Hamid Karzai International Airport aboard 16 C-17 planes flights, revealing that about 350 of them were US nationals.

A NATO official announced Friday that more than 18,000 people had been evacuated from Kabul airport since the Taliban took control of the Afghan capital last Sunday. However, the source said that the crowds are still outside the airport, desperately trying to escape.

The additional evacuees include family members of US citizens, special immigrant visa applicants and their families, as well as jeopardized Afghans, he added, indicating that about 9,000 people have been evacuated since August 14.
