In wake of chaotic US withdrawal, US intelligence agencies are watching to see if al-Qaeda and ISKP gain.
Top United States security officials are concerned about the potential threat to the US from al-Qaeda following the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
Christine Abizaid, director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, told a Senate committee on Tuesday that US intelligence agencies are re-assessing rapidly developing threats from fighter groups in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan is a very dynamic environment right now,” Abizaid told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
