It seems that the former is correct and is used in the text but the latter is also used in some text and in article titles. Perhaps a consistent approach could be taken. Jontel (talk) 06:15, 6 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello! The proper name for the agency is KhAD and I will get to work on changing it to be correct. Some western sources mistakenly refer to the agency as KHAD. The “Kh” in KhAD stands for Khedmat/Khadamat. (IPA: X) AfghanParatrooper19891 (talk) 16:46, 8 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
