The Joint Chiefs of Staff says the al-Qaeda terrorist group (banned in Russia) is still present in Afghanistan and may be planning to attack the United States from there.
“Al-Qaeda (a banned group in Russia) is still in Afghanistan and its goal is to attack the United States,” said Gen. Mark Millie, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to Sputnik.
“If al-Qaeda can regain its combat capabilities, they will want to attack. I think al-Qaeda still wants a war with the United States,” Milli told a Senate hearing.
He added: “The Taliban pledged not to attack our forces under the Doha agreement, but did not fully respect any of the other conditions.” We lost a lot of our forces. The United States continues to consider the Taliban a terrorist organization, and the movement’s ties to al-Qaeda continue.
“Our biggest mistake was to rely on war techniques instead of building the Afghan army,” said Mark Millie.
Earlier, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said members of the al-Qaeda terrorist group were not present in Afghanistan.
“Concerns about al-Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan are growing,” Mujahid said.[اما] These comments are of a propaganda nature. We have not seen anyone in Afghanistan who is a member of al-Qaeda. Islamic Emirate [دولت طالبان] It has made a commitment to the United States. “Under these commitments, we will not allow anyone to use Afghan territory to threaten others.”
It should be noted that Afghanistan had already provided a safe haven for al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, to plan and direct the 9/11 attacks, which was one of the reasons cited by US officials at the time for authorizing a military strike on Afghanistan was a congress and the beginning of a bloody and fruitless war that lasted 20 years.
