Zero Units

The Zero Units were Afghan commandos who fought alongside the CIA in Afghanistan. Following the fall of Kabul, thousands of these commandos were relocated to the United States. They are now newsworthy due to a recent shooting in Washington, D.C., involving a suspected veteran of the Zero Units who shot two US National Guardsmen. This incident has brought attention to the previously hidden role of the Zero Units in the US war in Afghanistan and has also raised questions about the immigration status and potential war crimes accusations facing some of its members. The event has sparked debate regarding the vetting process and oversight of Afghan refugees who worked with the US military and intelligence agencies.
