The representative of the Taliban movement (the terrorist organization prohibited in Russia) Zabihulla Mujahid stated in an interview with NBC News about the absence of evidence of Osama Ben Laden (the head of the Al-Qaida’s terrorist group forbidden in Russia) to terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
“When Osama Ben Laden became a problem for the Americans, he was in Afghanistan. Although there was no evidence of his involvement by September 11,” the words of Mujahid Washington Post.
He recalled that the Taliban promised not to use the territory of Afghanistan for attacks against anyone.
The US military was in Afghanistan since 2001 after their introduction to the country, which was the answer to the series of terrorist attacks on September 11, which occurred in the same year. Then the terrorists sent two liners in the Tower of the World Trade Center in New York, and the third – in the Pentagon building in Washington. Responsibility for what happened to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda (prohibited in Russia) and its leader Usama Bin Laden, who was hidden in Afghanistan. American special forces discovered and killed him in May 2011.
In April 2021, American President Joe Biden announced the complete conclusion of the US contingent and NATO from Afghanistan. From this point on, the situation in the republic was aggravated: the Taliban militants began to actively seize cities and provinces, selected closer to the capital of the country. They captured Kabul on August 15, on the same day Afghanistan left the ex-president Ashraf Ghani.
