Pentagon: Taliban do not attack US troops in Kabul 

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the US military was prepared for the possibility of a swift Taliban victory in Afghanistan, but what they “didn’t anticipate was the degree to which Afghan forces capitulated, sometimes without a fight,” Report informs, citing foreign media.

Kirby also said one of America’s top military commanders met face-to-face with senior leaders of the Taliban, urging the longtime enemy not to interfere with the massive evacuation at the Kabul airport.

“The message was very clearly put to the Taliban that these operations and our people were not to be attacked or there would be a response. And as you and I speak, there has been no attack on our operation or on our people at the airport,” said Kirby.
