Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US Department of State, said Washinton continues to make clear to the Taliban that they have counterterrorism commitments that it expects them to adhere to.

He made the remarks in a question about terrorist activity in Afghanistan.

“We maintain our capabilities to monitor the situation and respond to terrorist activity that we see despite the fact that there isn’t a more US presence in Afghanistan,” Miller said. “We demonstrated that when we took out the leader of al-Qaeda in July 2022, and we will continue to act to protect Americans.”

The Islamic Emirate said that not allowing Afghan soil to be used against other countries is the main strategy of the interim government.

"This is the strategy of the Islamic Emirate, to not allow the Afghan soil be used against other countries. This is both the strategy and commitment,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, Islamic Emirate spokesman.

The military analysts meanwhile said that the Islamic Emirate should make more efforts to counter the terrorist groups.

"To alleviate the allegations about Afghanistan, it is better that a joint committee of the neighboring countries including Afghanistan find the way of fighting the terrorists,” said Sarwar Niazai, military analyst.

“The Islamic Emirate should improve its relations with the neighboring countries in a bid to draw trust," said Abdul Wahid Hakimi, a university instructor.

In August last year, US President Joe Biden in a live address announced the death of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

But the Islamic Emirate’s officials said that they have not found any details to prove that Ayman al-Zawahiri, former leader of al-Qaeda, was killed in Afghanistan.
