The US and NATO Forces Commander in Afghanistan General Scott Miller said that there are some indications about the movements of al-Qaeda elements in some parts of Afghanistan but gave no details about the nature of these movements, Tolo News reports on May 21. “We have seen al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Yes, in different parts of Afghanistan. In different parts of Afghanistan, we can find them, so it’s not one particular region, it’s across the country,” stated Miller. He said the US will continue its cooperation and partnership with the Afghan forces and the Afghan citizens.
Miller said the Resolute Support forces are focusing on precision in their operations to protect civilians. “As we look at the current fight, any time a civilian bears the brunt of the fighting, there is nothing good about that. From a Resolute Support perspective, we are very focused on precision in our operations and protecting civilians at all cost,” said Miller.
