al-Qaeda members have strong connection and cooperation here.

Minister Masoud Andarabi and US-NATO Forces Commander Gen. Miller have visited restive
Ghazni province on Thursday to assess security situation, Pajhwok Afghan News

provinces, more Taliban and al-Aaeda members were present in Ghazni.
'We have credible intelligence that more Alqaeda and
personnel of other outfits are present in Ghazni and their bodies often
remained on the battle ground,' he said.
Referring to a question that the Taliban want the Afghan
National Army (ANA) to be disintegrated, he said: 'We are fighting for peace
which honourable and ensure the protection of past 18-year achievements and the
ANA is intact, going nowhere,' he said.
Interior Minister pledged to ensure security in Ghazni,
adding that security situation had deteriorated and the Taliban suffered heavy
losses in recent clashes.
