WASHINGTON: The top US general in Afghanistan General John Nicholson said on Tuesday that he had not seen a change in Pakistan’s support for militants so far, despite President Donald Trump taking a tougher line against Islamabad.
He also claimed that though the Taliban’s tactical-level commanders were in the field in Afghanistan, its senior leadership still resided in Pakistan, reported an international media outlet.
It further reported him as saying that Taliban leaders are living comfortably outside Afghanistan with plenty of drug money while the rank and file fighters are dying in Afghanistan.
The media outlet further wrote that US officials have long been frustrated by what they see as Pakistan’s reluctance to act against groups such as Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network that they believe exploit safe haven on Pakistani soil to launch attacks on neighbouring Afghanistan.
