Afghanistan: Taliban warns of consequences if US drones enter Afghanistan airspace

KABUL, 30 September 2021, (TON): The Taliban said in a statement on Twitter "the US has violated all international rights and laws as well as its commitments made to the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, with the operation of these drones in Afghanistan."

"We call on all countries, especially United States, to treat Afghanistan in light of international rights, laws and commitments in order to prevent any negative consequences."

US officials were not immediately available to comment.

The Taliban Islamist militia swept back into power in Afghanistan last month after most US and other Western troops left, ending a military and diplomatic mission that began soon after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

Taliban leaders deny Islamic State and al Qaeda are active in the country.
