Fact:
On May 8, 2019, Taliban insurgents detonated an explosive-laden vehicle and then broke into American NGO Counterpart International’s offices in Kabul. At least seven people were killed and 24 were injured.
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson referenced: "Professor Ian Acheson, a Spectator contributor and former prison governor who was a Tornado section commander in the 1990s, agrees that low staff numbers, and their relative inexperience may be contributing factors. These days, when faced with acts of indiscipline, but ‘lacking the numbers, there simply isn’t the capacity’ to resolve problems before they escalate, he says. Much easier to retreat from the wing, and let the governor bring in external resources. Acheson does not believe that there has been a rise in large scale disturbances, although there are particular establishments in which ‘the state does not have control and appeasement is now the default.'"
