The Taliban has placed security for the Afghan capital, Kabul, in the hands of senior members of the Haqqani Network, which has close ties with foreign jihadist groups including a long-standing association with al-Qaida.
This report (verified by intelligence) also backs up what UK SAS troops said they were told by Taliban they encountered on the Kabul streets when they were out saving their citizens.
This is a very real threat that will likely destabilize the area much quicker.

Who is this State Department spokesperson who can’t start or finish a sentence without smacking his lips? Listening in the car.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani a global terrorist in February 2011, offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. He’s also included on the United Nations terrorist list.
The meeting between Abdullah and Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani came hours before the Taliban declared the formation of an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
“The fact we have Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani in charge of Kabul security is dismaying,” a British intelligence official told VOA on the condition of anonymity. “The Haqqani and al-Qaida have a long history together, you could argue they are intertwined, and it is highly unlikely they will cut ties.
More credence to other reports that there is a large contingent of foreigners among the Taliban in Kabul.

Take this with a grain of salt since it’s from Charlie Kirk, but he claims they’ve apparently started killing off Christian missionaries and their families:
Just heard from a Pastor friend a Christian missionary family was slaughtered last night by the Taliban.
This is on Joe Biden’s reckless withdrawal. There is blood on Joe Biden’s hands.

Liberal talking points shattered:
quote:
Retired senior British diplomat Ivor Roberts told VOA that assigning members of the Haqqani network to oversee the security of Kabul is akin to the “fox being put in charge of a chicken coop.”
Roberts, a senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit network that researches extremist groups, said he was surprised at the move. “I thought from the PR point of view, the Taliban was being a bit smarter than that,” he said.
“Instead, they're putting forward the worst elements of their loose coalition, which sends a terrible signal to women, girls and civil society. And I think it increases the possibility of Afghanistan becoming a breeding ground for international terrorism again.”
He added, “I don't think they're ever cut ties with al-Qaida. They're deeply embedded with al-Qaida and always have been."

I want to punch him in his penis every time he opens or closes his mouth with that smack. Damn. He did it in the middle of a sentence, too.

So, he’s saying ‘anyone’ that wants to leave can leave, including non-Americans. Are they all coming to the USA?
