Intelligence Head Wasiq Meets Deputy CIA Head in Doha: Source
2022-10-10
[ToloNews] A source from the Islamic Emirate confirmed that a delegation of the Islamic Emirate met with US officials in Doha on Saturday.

The source said they discussed the issue of US drones in Afghan airspace and dronezaps in the country, violations of the Doha agreement and its fulfillment, restrictions on Afghan banks and the recent transfer of Afghan assets to the Swiss bank.

According to the source, the Islamic Emirate delegation was comprised of representatives from the intelligence department, MoFA and the MoD. The US delegation included the US special envoy for Afghanistan, representatives from the CIA as well as State Dept and DoD.

The report was first released by the CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
, saying that the presence of CIA Deputy Director David Cohen and Wasiq at the meeting on Saturday indicates an emphasis on counterterrorism.
CNN of course. The preferred purveyor of all things Klingon.
"The Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
are struggling to prevent ISIS-K attacks, making them look feckless, particularly in Kabul," said Beth Sanner, a former Deputy Director of National Intelligence who led Afghanistan analysis at the CIA. Sanner is also a CNN contributor.

The analysts gave various opinions.
But the central theme or 'Cover for financial Action' remains the fight against terrorism.
"The US wants to have coordination with Kabul in issues related to countering terrorism. This is good instead of being in relations with the neighboring of (Afghanistan). If they are succeeded, there is a chance that the sanctions will be lifted," said Tariq Farhad, a political analyst.

"There is no terrorist group. If (terrorists) exist, they should be eliminated in cooperation with the neighboring countries, so that this phenomenon and threat is eliminated," said Sadiq Shinwari, a military veteran.

The meeting is the first after the US dronezap targeted a residence in the Sherpur area of Kabul, after which US President Joe The Big Guy Biden

announced that al-Qaeda leader 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.

was killed.

Political analyst Wahid Faqiri said that the US wants to engage with the Islamic Emirate.

"Thr US is perhaps ready to engage with the Islamic Emirate," he said.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
the meeting between the bigwigs of the Islamic Emirate and the US has yet to be officially confirmed by the Islamic Emirate.

#3  The Clinton Foundation and the Brookings Institution must have been discussed along with the Muslim Brother who will replace Qaradawi in Qatar. Sarcasm tag understood.

#2  And the irony of Credit Suisse possibly going under. Then again, given the US organizations involved, maybe it won't.

#1  Find the Senior Intelligence official US Foreign Policy representative and purse holder in this story. Revealing you say? Not really, when you gain an awareness of who actually runs the country.

Deputy Klingon Director, Drones, Airspace, Swiss Banks, Money? What was it that was actually being discussed ?

I'll take "what is Credit Suisse Group AG" for $600. Alex.
