US to take action if terrorists regroup in Afghanistan: State Department

WASHINGTON, 09 December 2022, (TON): State Department Spokesperson Ned Price has reiterated President Joe Biden’s pledge of taking action in a way that protects our interests if the US sees “international terrorists regrouping in Afghanistan”.

The statement came in response to a question asked during a press briefing about the rise of violence in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s failure to not provide safe havens to terrorist groups, including the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and others.

Price said that the Afghan Taliban had been either unable or unwilling to live up to the commitments that they’ve made in a number of areas and that the US’ broader goal was to make sure that terrorists and others aren’t able to use Afghanistan as a launch pad for attacks on Pakistan.
