“and found an uncle who reported that the girl’s father, a farmer, had been slain in the raid, along with his wife and five other children”
A raid by who…? The US, or?
It could be seen as abduction, because that’s what it was. These people abducted an infant from Afghanistan.
When the Afghans arrived at a refugee resettlement camp in Virginia, the Justice Department wrote, Mast presented the adoption order to federal employees, who didn’t know that the U.S. government had already deemed his claim to the girl to be flawed. Unwittingly, those employees helped Mast take custody of the child, and she’s been with him ever since.
Waaaaay worse than just abduction. He tricked the relatives to come to America under false pretence before taking the baby away from them. Absolutely sickening how far he went to steal this baby from it’s relatives.
