We must brace for next 9/11 - the Taliban are unstoppable after West’s retreat, warns ex-Army chief
THE Taliban pose an unstoppable threat to the West three years on from capturing Kabul, a former British Army chief has warned.

Colonel Richard Kemp, who commanded British troops in Afghanistan, told The Sun the withdrawal of allied forces in 2021 has opened up to the possibility of another terror attack like 9/11.

After British and American soldiers were pulled from the Afghan capital, security forces fell and the Taliban was able to claim full control of Kabul.

They quickly swarmed on the besieged city - sparking a frantic emergency evacuation on August 15, 2021 as Brits and other foreign nationals scrambled to flee.

Richard has warned that the disastrous move - headed up by US President Joe Biden - made the US look weak to dangerous actors in the region.
