Taliban Denies Masood Azhar's Presence in Afghanistan Amid Pakistan's Claims
The Taliban government has denied Pakistan's claims that Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar is present in Afghanistan, with Afghan officials stating he is not in the country. Kabul emphasized that Afghan territory will not be used for attacks against other nations. Pakistan alleges Azhar fled to Afghanistan amid pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which has scrutinized Pakistan's efforts against terror financing. Azhar is wanted in India for several major terror attacks and was designated a global terrorist by the UN in 2019.
