‘Terrorist Safe Haven’: Afghanistan-Based Terror Groups Capable of Attack on U.S., Experts Say
GOP Holds Afghan Hearing: ‘Taliban Flag Flies over Kabul…This Is Joe Biden’s Legacy’
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer held a hearing Wednesday on the deadly Afghan withdrawal that left 13 American troops dead and many more fellow citizens stranded behind enemy lines.
Comer invited four key Inspectors General to testify about the factors and decisions that led to the deadly collapse as well as the continued risks to U.S. taxpayer dollars going to Afghanistan.
“Americans watched as people so desperate to flee clung to the landing gear of airplanes taking off and fell from the sky when the planes did not stop. Americans watched as parents handed their infants over to U.S. soldiers,” Comer said in his opening statement. “And they watched as billions of dollars of U.S. equipment—trucks, aircraft, weaponry—was just abandoned to the Taliban.”
“Today, the Taliban flag flies over Kabul…This is Joe Biden’s legacy,” Comer added. “The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has consequences that will not go away overnight, despite the Biden Administration’s hope that the American people will forget.”
According to the February Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction report, Biden’s deadly Afghan withdrawal in 2021 left at least $7.2 billion worth of military equipment under Taliban control, including missiles, aircraft, biometric devices, and communications gear.
During the two decades in which the United States tried to democratize the nation, American taxpayers provided the Afghan military with $18.6 billion in equipment, the report found.
Democrats have taken a more defensive posture on the deadly withdrawal that severely impacted President Joe Biden’s approval rating.
Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee Jamie Raskin (D-MD) demanded a more rounded analysis of the U.S.’s involvement in the war-torn nation. In Raskin’s opening statement, he said Afghanistan oversight “requires looking comprehensively at the dynamics of this massive, decades-long military and nation-building effort — not just the last few months.”
The White House has also remained defensive. When Fox News asked National Security Council spokesman John Kirby if the Biden administration was “proud” of its exit from Afghanistan, Kirby did not shy away from Biden’s record.
“Proud of the fact that new how have about 100,000 Afghans, our former allies and partners, living in this country and working toward citizenship?” Kirby said April 6. “You bet.”

US Puts $7 Million Bounty on Hezbollah Leader's Head
The United States is offering $7 million for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil, who orchestrated a series of terror bombings in the 1980s that killed hundreds of American service members.
The State Department announced that on the 40th anniversary of Hezbollah's terror strike on the U.S. embassy compound in Lebanon, it is upping the price for information on Aqil, a member of the Iranian-backed terror group's Jihad Council.
Aqil, the State Department said, was a "principal member of Islamic Jihad Organization— Hezbollah's terrorist cell—that claimed the bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, which killed 63 people, and the U.S. Marine barracks in October 1983, which killed 241 U.S. personnel." Aqil in the 1980s also took Americans hostage.
Aqil, who has escaped the American justice system for decades, is believed to be in either Lebanon or Syria, both Iranian strongholds with deep ties to the Islamic Republic's terrorism network. The U.S. government in 2019 officially designated Aqil as a global terrorist. Hezbollah was designated as a global terrorist organization in 1997.
Hezbollah serves as a cog in Iran's regional terrorism enterprise and is responsible for strikes on American and Israeli outposts in the Middle East.
Muslims Tell Hindu Children to Convert to Islam or they Will Not ‘Survive Long’
Hindu children in the UK have reportedly been threatened by Muslim classmates that they must convert to Islam or they will not “survive long” in school.
Research undertaken by an Anglo-America think tank has found that Hindu children in the UK have been put under pressure from Muslims to convert to Islam, with those who refuse told that they will face serious harassment and bullying in schools.
The threats mirror those behind recent sectarian riots between Hindus and Muslims in the UK, with some Islamic extremists said to have spread false stories of Hindus harassing Muslim girls on the streets of Leicester.
Such rumours eventually led to rioting in multiple UK cities, with hardcore Islamists organising patrols of UK streets as well as hostile protests outside of Hindu temples.
According to a report by The Telegraph, Hindu children also face serious persecution from Muslims in UK schools, with an investigation undertaken by the Henry Jackson Society finding children have been on the receiving end of sectarian pressure from fellow classmates.
“Some of the discrimination exhibited in the classroom showed similarities to the manifestations of hate witnessed during the unrest in Leicester between Hindus and Muslims,” the soon-to-be-published report is said to claim.
“There were numerous instances of derogatory references made towards Hindus, such as mocking their vegetarianism and belittling their deities, which were also made by Islamist extremists rallying against the Hindu community in Leicester,” it continued.
The report went on to note that Hindu children are regularly called “disbelievers” and “kaffir” — two largely synonymous terms meant as slurs — with one child being told “that if they convert to Islam, their life will become so much easier”.
“You aren’t going to survive very long,” another child was reportedly told. “If you want to go to paradise, you’ll have to come to Islam… Hindus are the herbivores at the bottom of the food chain, we will eat you up.”
With some Hindu children also facing discrimination from Christian students, the report ultimately calls for improvements to Religious Education in UK schools in the hopes of downplaying tensions.
How effective such a solution would actually be remains to be seen, with tensions between Muslims and Hindus being a regular feature of history throughout the Indian and South Asian subcontinents.
While by no means a constant — with Muslims and Hindus having previously been able to live beside each other peacefully in various historic Asian kingdoms — modern relations between the two religions are, on the whole, quite poor, with Hindu nationalists and traditionalist and separatist Muslims often coming to blows in modern India.
Such sectarian violence has now well and truly spread to the UK, with the minority-majority city of Leicester seeing serious rioting late last year over allegations that Hindu extremists had moved into the city.
These claims have been dismissed by an earlier report published by the Henry Jackson Society, claims of Hindu extremism in the city were largely conjured up by local Muslim radicals, some of whom have previously offered up prayers for known terror organisations.
How convincing the report has been for Muslims in the area though is up for debate, with claims of militant Hindu activities in Leicester being regularly uploaded onto social media to this day.

‘Terrorist Safe Haven’: Afghanistan-Based Terror Groups Capable of Attack on U.S., Experts Say
Former officials tell Congress Al Qaeda and ISIS have rebuilt under Taliban rule
Less than two years after the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, the country "is once again a terrorist safe haven" with groups capable of orchestrating attacks on the American homeland, according to former defense and counterterrorism officials.
Under the Taliban’s rule, terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIS-K have rebuilt their forces, acquiring the operational capacity to launch strikes across Europe and the United States in as little as six months from now, the former officials told Congress during a Tuesday hearing on repercussions of the Biden administration’s 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. As the war-torn country breeds new terrorists at an accelerated rate, there is a growing fear in the U.S. defense community that a major attack in the United States is on the horizon.
"The threat environment in Afghanistan is bad and getting worse," said Nathan Sales, a former coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department who said the U.S. military has been unable to effectively collect intelligence about terror plots since its withdrawal. "With no presence on the ground, it’s much harder to monitor terrorist groups as they train and plot."
The former officials also raised concerns about the $7.2 billion worth of American military equipment that was abandoned in Afghanistan. Not only could this equipment fall into the hands of multiple terrorist groups, but it could be intercepted by adversaries like Russia and China, which are still active in Afghanistan and maintain ties with the Taliban.
The Biden administration, on the other hand, has mostly forgotten about the country. Even as terrorist forces amass in Afghanistan, the United States has conducted just one drone strike in the 20 months since it left the country. "One drone strike in 20 months is not a viable strategy," Sales said.
The lack of intelligence from Afghanistan has also impacted the Department of Homeland Security’s travel and vetting system, which was created in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Without a steady flow of information from Afghanistan, these networks are breaking down, Sales said, pointing to a spike in the number of watch-listed individuals caught at the nation’s porous southern border. Nearly 100 individuals on the terrorism watchlist were caught at the border in 2022 and another 69 have been apprehended so far this year.
"When terrorists have safe haven, as they now do in Afghanistan, they’re able to plot attacks far beyond their borders, including their ultimate goal of hitting the U.S. homeland," Sales said.
Simone Ledeen, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, raised concerns about the Biden administration’s decision to airlift Afghan citizens into America without proper screening or credentials. The disorganized effort allowed at least 324 Afghans to enter the United States who were on the Pentagon's watchlist, according to Ledeen.
Leaked emails provided to Congress in 2021 appear to corroborate this information, indicating the Biden administration allowed unvetted refugees to fill flights out of the country.
Retired Col. Christopher Douglas, a Marine Corps veteran conducting the investigation into the terrorist bombing at the Kabul airport that killed 13 U.S. service members, said he was shocked when the Biden administration announced the hasty withdrawal. He blamed the lack of notice from the administration for the botched evacuation, as well as the current situation in Afghanistan.
"I and presumably many of our Afghan partners were in disbelief by the announcement of the withdrawal date," Douglas said. "This reduced our U.S. force posture and boots on the ground to nearly zero," exacerbating an already tense effort to get Americans out of the country.
