PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang (pic) has defended the Taliban, saying that they have changed. The PAS president said that the Taliban has among other things announced an amnesty for those who previously worked with the United States. “However, their latest step of negotiations with diplomats of the United States has shown their intelligence in facing the enemy. This is until they were able to take control of Kabul peacefully,” he said in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Aug 25). The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan on Aug 15, following the full withdrawal of US troops that had occupied the country since the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
