Armed Forces interpreter speaks out about fleeing from the Taliban with wife and four children

A British Armed Forces interpreter has spoken out about fleeing Afghanistan with his wife and four children after being targeted by Taliban soldiers.

For years Abdul Jalalzai, 33, worked closely with UK soldiers to provide a vital link between the forces and non-English speaking Afghan people. He also worked at Lashkar Gah Police Training Centre, in Helmand province, providing a base for the British Army to help recruit and train police officers.

But now he fears he will never be able to return to his family home in Khost province, or visit his family members who remain there, while the Taliban controls the country of his birth. He added that if they found him there, he would be killed.
