Pakistan had taught the Taliban well in IED making, former vice president says

Former vice president, Amrullah Saleh, reacted to remarks of Taliban’s prime minister, saying that Pakistan had taught the Taliban well in improvised explosive device (IED) making, and is baffled how to sustain them.

“Rawelpindi [Pakistan] had taught them [the Taliban] well in IED making, used them as demolishing force and is now puzzled how to sustain them,” Saleh said.

He quoting this part of Taliban’s prime minister’s remarks, “ask God to solve the issue of hunger and poverty. We did not promise economic prosperity,” implicitly stated that Taliban government do not have political agenda.
