US Thinks Russia Spies Aided Taliban Attacks
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with industry executives on the reopening of the U.S. economy in the State Dining Room May 29, 2020 in Washington, DC. Erin Schaff-Pool/Getty Images/AFPUS intelligence has concluded that a Russian unit offered rewards to Taliban-linked militants to kill troops of the US-led coalition in Afghanistan, The New York Times reported Friday.
The newspaper, citing anonymous officials, said that Trump was briefed on the findings in March, but has not decided how to respond. But Russia has more recently been accused by the United States of quietly providing small arms to the Taliban. It said that the Russian unit may also be seeking revenge over the US killing of Russian mercenaries in Syria, where Moscow backs President Bashar al-Assad.
