Minister quizzed about female Afghan special forces soldier denied sanctuary in UK
Briefly

Zahab, whose name has been changed for her safety, was one of a select group of women who worked for Commando Force 333, an elite Afghan special forces unit that was set up and paid for by the British government.

She explained that the soldier's application for the Ministry of Defence's resettlement scheme, designed for those who worked for or with the British armed forces, had been denied along with many other members of her unit CF333 - and its sister unit ATF444.
