US Calls On Pakistan to Expel Taliban Leaders after Kabul Hotel Attack

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters at her daily press briefing that the United States has called on Pakistan to immediately arrest or expel Taliban leaders who are carrying out terror activities in Afghanistan and to prevent them from using Pakistani territory to support its operations.
“We call on Pakistan to immediately arrest or expel the Taliban’s leaders and prevent the group from using Pakistani territory to support its operations,” she said.
“In Afghanistan, where terrorists attacked a hotel in Kabul, such attacks on civilians only strengthen our resolve to support our Afghan partners.”
This comes after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a major attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul on Saturday that killed at least 22 people including 11 foreigners.
“We commend the swift and effective response of the Afghan security forces. Afghan forces, with our support, will continue to relentlessly pursue the enemies of Afghanistan, who also seek to export terror around the world,” Sanders said.
