Afghan interpreter's family 'waiting for death' under Taliban after UK military data breach

An Afghan interpreter who worked with the British military has told Sky News he feels "betrayed by the British government" after a massive data breach saw his personal details revealed.

Ali, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, had long suspected his details had been shared with the Taliban - but found out just yesterday that he was a victim of the breach three years ago.

He is now even more fearful for the lives of family members still in Afghanistan, who are already in hiding from the Taliban.
