retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
