Al-Qaida has a haven in Afghanistan under the Taliban and \u201cincreased freedom of action\u201d with the potential of launching new long-distance attacks in coming years, a UN report based on intelligence supplied by member states says.<\/p>\n
The assessment, by the UN committee charged with enforcing sanctions on the Taliban and others that may threaten the security of Afghanistan, will raise concerns that the country could once again become a base for international terrorist attacks after the withdrawal of US and Nato troops last year.<\/p>\n
Critics of the US president, Joe Biden, will point to the report\u2019s description of a \u201cclose relationship\u201d between al-Qaida and the Taliban as evidence that his decision to pull out all US forces was an error.<\/p>\n
