The US Government says the Taliban has grossly violated the agreement reached between the two countries ahead of its withdrawal last year, by sheltering the leader of terror group Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahri in Kabul.
Al-Zawahri, who was one of the masterminds of the 2001September 11 terror attacks, was killed in an American drone strike at the weekend, while standing on a balcony.
The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, says it's a violation of the agreement struck between the Taliban and the US before they withdrew their troops almost one year ago, where Kabul committed to not provide a safe haven for Al Qaeda to plan further attacks.
Colin P. Clarke is a counterterrorism analyst and Director of Research at the a security consulting firm, The Soufan Group.
He said the attack would be seen as a major victory for U.S. interests.
