threatened to kill his family in Kabul. The Army took
the threats seriously. Several soldiers whom Haidari worked with wrote letters vouching for his loyalty to help him get out of Afghan- istan. A general wrote Homeland Security and Immigration Service officials recommend- ing that Haidari receive “special immigrant sta- tus” and be allowed to enter the U.S. A platoon sergeant
wrote that Haidari “has proven himself to be a powerful weapon and tremendous asset” in the 25th Infantry Divi- sion’s counter-insur- gency fight. He said Haidari was “continu- ously putting his life in danger.” “While occupying
a remote combat out- post [Haidari] received multiple threatening phone calls from senior Taliban leaders in our area. He was told on more than one occa-

Contractors would give Haidari up to $100,000 at a time to finance the missions he and his fighters were given.
Haidari was a “loyal and dedicated interpreter” who risked his life in support of U.S. forces. The general, who was deputy commander of Combined Joint Task Force 1 at the time, said Haidari’s “efforts have contributed immensely to the United States Armed Forces.” The special immigrant pro- gram “was designed for people like [Haidari] who have risked much, including their lives, to support the U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan.” After working with

The vehicles, armored Toy- ota SUVs, came under f ire along the way. Sossaman was driving and Haidari was riding shotgun. The defensive reaction was to floor the gas pedal and bar- rel through, but Haidari opened the passenger door and begin firing his AK-47 while the vehicle was moving. “The crazy bas-

admires the fighters commanded by Haidari. “They were out in
the field on their own.
