The US holds Al-Qaeda responsible for the deadliest act of terror ever and the killing of nearly 3,000 Americans on 11 September 2001. The terror group\u2019s influence declined significantly after 2014 and the rise of Daesh (ISIS), with fighters pledging allegiance to the competing jihadist entities often battling it out in Syria.<\/p>\n

Al-Qaeda will continue its war against the United States after Washington\u2019s withdrawal from Afghanistan, two operatives said to be belong to the terrorist organization have told CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the network via an intermediary ahead of the ten-year anniversary of the 2011 SEAL team operation to kill Osama bin Laden, and following Joe Biden\u2019s announcement that he would pull troops out of Afghanistan after nearly two decades of war, the terrorist group said that their \u201cwar against the US will be continuing on all other fronts unless they are expelled from the rest of the Islamic world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the spokesmen praised the Taliban for fighting the US over the past 19+ years, and suggested that \u201cthanks to Afghans for the protection of comrades-in-arms, many such jihadi fronts have been successfully operating in different parts of the Islamic world for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sputnik has been unable to independently verify CNN\u2019s claims that it spoke to the terror group, which almost never<\/a> gives interviews to mainstream Western media and instead typically issues pronouncements via its own guerrilla networks or taped audio or video releases.<\/em><\/p>\n

CNN took the operatives\u2019 comments to mean that there are continued ties between al-Qaeda and the Taliban, despite the latter\u2019s commitment under the 2020 US-Taliban peace deal<\/a> to prevent al-Qaeda and other terrorists from using Afghan soil \u201cto threaten the security of the United States and its allies.\u201d<\/p>\n
