About the Show
In September 2010, an inquiry was launched to examine the role and oversight of private security contractors in Afghanistan, sparked by a tragic event in August 2008 when US forces bombed the village of Azizabad. This incident ignited a fierce public debate between the US Government and the United Nations regarding the number of fatalities and whether the victims were civilians or Taliban fighters. Allegations surfaced that Afghan employees of ArmorGroup, a private security contractor, had misled the US military with false information, and were involved in murder and anti-coalition activities. Notably, a key local informant for ArmorGroup, known as Mr. Pink, was later convicted of espionage and sentenced to death, only to be released thereafter.
