Taliban Blames Pakistan for Allowing Its Airspace to Be Used by US Drones
Such indignation!
[KhaamaPress] The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
’s acting Defense Minister said on Sunday that Pakistain had allowed its airspace to be used by US drones to enter and attack Afghanistan, a claim Pakistain has since refuted in the wake of an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
by the US in Kabul, the Afghan capital.

Before noon on Sunday, August 28, Mullah Yaqoub and the Chief of Staff of the Taliban’s military forces held a presser during which the Defense official claimed that US drones were using Pakistain’s territory and airspace to attack Afghanistan.

He emphasized that the use of drones to patrol Afghanistan’s airspace is a clear transgression of the country’s borders.

"We [the Taliban] ask Pakistain, don’t use your airspace against us," Mullah Yaqoub said.

Pak officials, on the other hand, have denied any involvement in or knowledge of a July drone operation in Kabul that the US claimed killed al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri
...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra...
Previously, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was purportedly killed in a CIA drone attack in Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, according to US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him....
, who broke the news in a live broadcast.

The US stated that two Hellfire missiles fired from a drone killed the al-Qaeda chief while causing little damage elsewhere, preventing non-combatant fatalities.

The Taliban’s acting Defense Minister’s remarks come at a time when the group mediates the peace talks between the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), aka Pak Taliban, and the government of Pakistain.
