he Taliban on Wednesday warned of consequences if the us didn’t stop flying drones over Afghan airspace.
“The U.S. has violated all international rights and laws also as its commitments made to the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, with the operation of those drones in Afghanistan,” the Taliban said during a statement on Twitter.
“We turn all countries, especially us , to treat Afghanistan in light of international rights, laws and commitments … so as to stop any negative consequences.”
U.S. officials weren’t immediately available to comment.
The Taliban Islamist militia swept back to power in Afghanistan last month after most U.S. and other Western troops left, ending a military and deputation that began soon after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the us .
Taliban leaders deny Islamic State and al Qaeda militants are active within the country, although Islamic State recently claimed responsibility for bomb attacks within the eastern city of Jalalabad.
The Taliban are struggling from the international community to renounce ties with al Qaeda, the group behind the 9/11 attacks on ny and Washington.
