Defection of Tajik commander PR coup for ISIS, say experts
The defection to ISIS of the U.S.-trained commander of Tajikistan’s special forces is a major public relations coup for the terrorist army, but likely not an immediate threat to coalition forces, experts said.
Last week, ISIS released a video featuring the defector, Col. Gulmurod Khalimov, saying he underwent training under U.S. Special Forces and the now-defunct private security contractor Blackwater. The State Department reportedly confirmed that Khalimov participated in the training through its Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program, and was taught crisis response, tactical management of special events and tactical leadership training.
