Russian bounties on coalition forces in Afghanistan are thought to have resulted in the deaths of several U. S. service members, according to intelligence findings reported on by The Washington Post on Sunday.
Evidence obtained during interrogations of enemy combatants linked the recently reported program — which Russia has denied ever existed — to multiple incidents in which U. S. forces were killed, the Post reported. It was unclear how many service members were targeted or how many deaths were specifically linked to the alleged Russian policy.
A spokesperson for the National Security Council told the Post that “the veracity of the underlying allegations continue to be evaluated.
