FILE - This April 1998 file photo, shows al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. Although the Taliban had promised Washington during months of negotiations that the U.S. will never again be attacked from Afghan soil, there's no evidence of a break in relations between long-time allies the Taliban and al-Qaida. After the collapse of the Taliban deal in September 2019, it's not clear if they gave Washington any information on where al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden’s successor, al-Zawahri, are hiding.
