[CIA's role in Afghanistan]
Death squad:
A death squad is an armed group whose primary activity is carrying out extrajudicial killings or forced disappearances as part of political repression, genocide, ethnic cleansing, or revolutionary terror.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) says CIA-backed Afghan paramilitary forces have "committed summary executions and other grave abuses without accountability" -including extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and attacks on health-care facilities
It says both the United States and the Afghan government should also "cooperate with independent investigations of all allegations of war crimes and other human rights abuses."
It also says the U.S. government should "investigate any U.S. personnel" involved in abuses, and should "cease supporting Afghan forces that have been responsible for serious violations."
Afghanistan's CIA-backed militias, whose tradition goes back to the Soviet-Afghan war of the 1980s, are seen as a critical tool in the fight against Taliban and Islamic State militants.
Such paramilitary groups are officially under Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security (NDS) but often operate almost independently of Afghan authorities.
Speaking to HRW, one unnamed diplomat referred to them as "death squads."

SAD paramilitary teams were active in Afghanistan in the 1990s in clandestine operations to locate and kill or capture Osama Bin Laden. These teams planned several operations but did not receive the order to execute from President Bill Clinton
In December 2001, Special Activities Division and the Army's Delta Force tracked down Osama bin Laden in the rugged mountains near the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan
