ATLANTA (Pajhwok): A former US diplomat has rejected a Washington Post report that alleged Afghanistan has re-emerged as a staging ground for terrorism.
Zalmai Khalilzad, ex-special representative of the United States for Afghanistan, said about the report that the “sensationalist hyperbole is unwarranted”.
In a tweet on Monday, Khalilzad wrote the report, based on a leaked Pentagon document, was a sensationalist hyperbole that was unwarranted.
He said an upswing in terrorism from Afghanistan had been one of the fears associated with the US withdrawal. But that has not happened.
Al Qaeda, having declined significantly, was currently at its . . .
