Taliban

The head of U.S. Central Command says that war against the Taliban will be stepped up following the collapse of peace talks.

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis also said Afghanistan needs more "resources" following the collapse of peace talks.

Resolute Support officials said one of the military members was from the United States and the other was from Romania.

The DoD has not received orders to draw down troops in Afghanistan despite reports that an initial withdrawal is pending.

One official warned the withdrawal would be subject to the completion of any agreement.

After four decades of war, the hope for a lasting peace is on the minds of Afghans across the Central Asian country.

The former one-eyed Taliban leader secretly lived near American military bases in the war-torn country for years.

The top U.S. general in the Middle East is warning against removing troops from Afghanistan too soon.

The Taliban have been carrying out more than 27 attacks daily, according to the Pentagon's Inspector General.
