“One of the challenges is the threat to the homeland from Al Qaeda and ISIS-K. They are reconstituting. The Taliban has not renounced Al Qaeda, ISIS-K,” Kurilla told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, pointing to the release of prisoners from the Bagram and Pul-e-Charkhi prisons by the Taliban after the militant group reconquered Afghanistan last year. “While they have aspirations to attack the homeland, they do not have the capability yet,” Kurilla said of Al-Qaeda and ISIS-K.
