Getting Americans out is ‘big victory' for Afghans, Taliban leader tells Trey Yingst
Fox News
Anas Haqqani, a leader of one of the Taliban’s most dangerous factions, spoke out about the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"Getting Americans out of Afghanistan was always the aim of the Afghans. That's why they put suicide vests on their bodies," Haqqani told Yingst.
"Getting [Americans] out now is a big victory achievement for Afghans. You'd also be proud if your heroes kicked out invaders from your land."
Meanwhile, the head of the Haqqani network, Sirajuddin Haqqani, is wanted by the FBI and has been named the Taliban's interim interior minister, which was seen by some as a slap in the face to the U.S. and Western countries.
