Stars and Stripes | No major Taliban attacks so far amid Afghanistan withdrawal, but force protection measures will continue
The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has been largely peaceful since its start on May 1, but American forces remain ready to respond should the Taliban attack, State Department and Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad on Tuesday told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that the drawdown "so far has taken place without incident and we expect this to continue." |
