Al-Qaeda Not Completely Uprooted in Afghanistan: Officials
2021-05-03
[ToloNews] Today marks the 10th anniversary of the killing of al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden
...... who is no longer with us, and won't be again......
 by American special forces in 2011 in Pakistain, but the Afghan government says that the roots of the network are still alive in Afghanistan and the group still poses a threat to the country and the world and is collaborating with the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
"Right now, al-Qaeda and Talib are not two different ideologic topics; they are beyond that as they have intermarried within their families," NDS chief Ahmad Zia Saraj said last week.

The question that arises is how can al-Qaeda pose a threat to Afghanistan and the world while its leader was killed ten years back?

"Al-Qaeda was not owned by bin Laden," said Atiqullah Amarkhil, a former military officer. "Al-Qaeda is still active in Afghanistan and anyone who says that we have eliminated al-Qaeda--they are lying."

The Afghan government sees the Taliban’s ties with al-Qaeda as a key challenge in the way of the grinding of the peace processor.

#4  We were warned about these people long ago:

Churchill, 'The River Wars' pgs 248-250. How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

#3  Any place there is more than one moslem, there is potential for the usual moslem outrages.

Call it what you want. AlQaeda, Taliban, Al Shabaab, etc etc ad nauseam

#2  Hold On Now! When we (Mike Pompao)signed the surrender peace treaty with the Taliban, we were told that the Taliban was going to get rid of Al Qaeda.
