Pakistan Threatening To Use Its Air Force Against Afghan Army, Providing Air Support To Taliban: Afghanistan's Vice President

Pakistan has threatened to use its air force against the Afghan military, Afghanistan's Vice President Amrullah Saleh has said.

According to Saleh, Pakistan has warned the Afghan military against attempts to dislodge the Taliban from the Spin Buldak area, which lies in the southeastern part of Afghanistan, on the border with Balochistan. It is not far from Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, which the Taliban leadership has made its headquarters.

The development comes at a time when the United States is withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan. Nearly 90 per cent of US troops and equipment have already left Afghanistan, reports say.
