NRF Warns of Al-Qaeda’s Expansion in Afghanistan, Urges International Support

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – The National Resistance Front (NRF), an armed opposition group against the Taliban, has raised alarms about Al-Qaeda’s expanding presence in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, claiming that the group is actively training and recruiting fighters for future attacks.

“This year, Al-Qaeda has established eight new training and recruitment bases in Afghanistan,” said Ali Maisam Nazary, the NRF’s head of foreign relations, during a visit to Washington this week. “While the group was limited to a few areas in the 1990s, today it is present throughout the country.”
