Taliban using U.S. weapons 5 years after withdrawal

CBS News reported that five years after the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan, Taliban fighters are now using American weapons and driving American vehicles. The report highlights the irony that the Taliban, which was responsible for planning the 9/11 terrorist attacks 25 years prior, now controls Afghanistan once again and has access to U.S.-made equipment. This situation raises questions about the legacy of the U.S. military presence and the current state of Afghan security forces. The report comes amid ongoing concerns about the stability of Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
