Fox News
Key House lawmakers could get a briefing as soon as next week on the critical security situation in Afghanistan as the Taliban continues its steady takeover of more Afghan cities, Fox News has learned.
The Taliban now controls two-thirds of the nation as the U.S. and NATO finalize their withdrawal after decades of war. While the capital of Kabul itself has not been directly threatened in the recent blitz, the stunning speed of the offensive raises questions of how long the Afghan government can maintain control. The U.S. assesses that Kabul could fall to the Taliban within the next 90 days, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Fox News.More Related News
