Taliban say US did not share any proof of al-Qaeda chief’s killing in Kabul
ISLAMABAD (AA) – The Afghan Taliban on Wednesday called on the US to refrain from violating Afghanistan’s airspace, saying Washington has not provided any proof of the killing of al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri in their country.
A drone strike carried out by the U.S. last month killed al-Zawahiri in Kabul, that, according to US President Joe Biden. The Taliban condemned the attack and announced that they were unaware of al-Zawahiri’s presence in Afghanistan and that US President Joe Biden’s “allegation” was being investigated. The Taliban and the US accused each other of violating the Doha Agreement.
The interim government also sympathized with Russia over the killing of its two embassy staff members in a suicide bombing in Kabul on Monday. At least six people were killed and 10 others wounded when a suicide bomber targeted a gathering near the Russian Embassy.
The Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan last year on Aug. 15 as the officials of the US-backed Kabul administration fled the country and foreign forces withdrew. Countries across the globe are yet to recognize the government.
