Former head of the National Directorate of Security, Rahmatullah Nabil said Pakistan-based Haqqani network has increased its footprint in Afghanistan as its members are now present both in the west and north-eastern regions of the country, reports Tolo News on February 4. Nabil, who addressed panel discussion on Afghanistan-US relations under President Joe Biden’s administration hosted by the Afghan Institute of Strategic Studies, said that the meeting of Afghan political leaders with the Taliban in Moscow in 2018 was a mistake.
