Fox News
The Pentagon appeared to break with the State Department on Saturday on the relationship between the Haqqani network and the Taliban -- conceding that there was "co-mingling" after the State Dept. had called them separate entities.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby was asked by Fox News about whether the U.S. considered the Taliban and the Haqqani network "separate entities." State Dept. Press Secretary Ned Price had described them as such the day before when asked if the security coordination with the Taliban extended to the Haqqani network. "No, it does not," Price said on Friday. "The Taliban and the Haqqani Network are separate entities."More Related News
