Pentagon says after the end of the year 2014 they will not target Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and other Afghan Taliban insurgents unless they pose a direct threat to the United States.
Pentagon says being Taliban does not mean they will be targeted by the US.
Admiral John Kirby, spokesman for the defense ministry of the United States put a line separating Taliban into two groups. Combatant and Non-Combatant and said those who continue to target will be targeted.
American president Barack Obama, however has ordered attacks against those Taliban who attack Afghan Security Forces also known as (ANSF).
United States forces have targeted/ fought Afghan Taliban since the overthrow of their regime in 2001 when they rejected to hand over Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
Osama Bin Laden was wanted to the US for terrorist attacks in September 2001. The four coordinated attacks left nearly 3, 000 people killed.



An excellent news for the supporter, protector and friend of the Taliban, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. This incompetent coward has promised to release every Taliban prisoners from Afghanistan and other countries who imprisoned Taliban. Great news, coward Ahmadzai

All you comments have been directed to the president whether he has any involvement or not. If you think you can solve the current situation why don’t you step up and get prepared for the next general elections. Do you even realise your thoughts are totally baseless and psychic.
