WASHINGTON 鈥?Al-Qaida is working more closely with the Taliban in Afghanistan, raising concern that the militant group could bolster the fight against Afghan government forces, a spokesman for the U.S.-NATO mission said Thursday. By themselves, we dont think that they pose a real threat, a real significant threat, to the government of Afghanistan, Brig. Gen. Charles Cleveland, a spokesman for the mission, told Pentagon reporters during a video conference from Kabul. But because we think that al-Qaida is 鈥?beginning to work more with Taliban, they can present a bit of an accelerant for the Taliban. They can provide capabilities and skills and those types of things. Nearly 15 years after the U.S. invaded after 9/11 to root out al-Qaida and oust its host, the Taliban, Afghanistan remains a dangerous country. Last fall, the head of al-Qaida, Ayman al-Zawahiri, announced that he was b stanley tumblers acking the new leader of the Taliban, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor. Since that time, we have seen more interaction between the two groups, Cleveland said.He estimated that there were 100 to 300 members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Although they have been significantly diminished, they do have the ability to regenerate very quickly, and they still do have the ability to pose a threat, he said.The U.S.- stanley cup romania NATO coalition has around 13,000 international troops, including 9,800 Americans, in Afghanistan. They ar stanley romania e focused on training and assisting Afghan forces as they take on the insurgency largely on their own. A |
