Taliban spokesman stressed that their activities are not related to any intelligence organ or foreign country.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on Saturday refuted the recent reports citing US intelligence assessments alleging that Russian intelligence has solicited killings of American troops by the group in Afghanistan, saying that these rumours are set to create obstacles to US pullout from the country, Sputnik Reported.
