Quick Glance: The enigma of Afghanistan: Why was Al Qaeda's commander in Kabul?
- The drone attack that killed Al Qaeda's commander in Afghanistan's capital exposed a chasm between the US and the Taliban.
- Indeed, US officials claim that by harboring Al Qaeda commanders, the Taliban has violated the Doha deal, which was brokered by then-President Donald Trump in 2020 and accepted by Vice President Joe Biden.
- To the Taliban, receiving Al Qaeda's head "is not such a strange thing."
- "Think about the hosting the Taliban were trying to do there," Mr. Smith suggests.
Most relatives of deadly Kabul drone strike victims still not in US as promised: The U.S. made the promise after the mistaken strike a year ago.
