Afghanistan has once again become a potential launchpad for global terrorism, according to a September 8, 2026 article by Ray Furlong and Daud Khattak for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The piece notes that the Taliban regained control of the country after a 20‑year U.S.‑led military presence ended in 2021. It also reports that Al‑Qaeda operatives are reportedly finding safe haven within Afghanistan’s borders.
These developments are framed as a “full circle” since Afghanistan served as the launchpad for the September 11, 2001 attacks, 25 years earlier.
The article highlights concerns that the country’s new political reality could facilitate the planning and execution of future terrorist operations on a global scale.
