Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said the group 'respect the rights of women,' despite women and girls having previously been banned from studying or working under the group's regime.
"We're going to keep in place in the region the capacity to see if [there is] any emergence of a terrorist threat, and to be able to deal with it."
Spokesman Shaheen said in a July 9 interview the Taliban would prevent al-Qaeda from operating out of Afghanistan, saying that the group had"inherited al-Qaeda" from the former government of President Burhanuddin Rabbani in the 1990s.
