From behind bars at Guantanamo Bay to the Taliban's cabinet

Expressing concern over the composition of the Taliban cabinet, in which women have no share and ministers are only members of the Taliban, the State Department stressed that the Afghan people deserve an "inclusive government" and that the United States will judge the Taliban based on its actions.

US President Joe Biden told reporters that Iran, China, Russia and Pakistan are working to reach an agreement with the Taliban on disputed issues. "All these countries are now trying to understand what the Taliban are doing," he added.

China News is examining a military presence at Afghanistan's Bagram Air Base, US News reported, citing an informed source. According to the report, China is conducting feasibility studies on sending economic investment program staff and troops to this important Afghan air base.

Reacting to the Taliban's move to nominate a cabinet, the Afghan People's Resistance Front said it would soon introduce a "democratic and accountable transitional government structure" after consulting with political figures and experts.

A well-informed source at US Army Central Command, Centcom, told Fox News that the Pakistani military used drones and 27 helicopters to help Taliban forces attack Panjshir.
