This is a lot of revisionism. The Taliban offered to &quot;discuss&quot; handing over bin Laden on the condition the US stopped bombing them. It was a clear delay tactic. They demanded evidence that he was responsible and would only turn him over to a neutral third party. Way too little too late.<p>It&#x27;s totally false that Talbian and al Qaeda were not allies. Al Qaeda trained members of the Taliban army. If the Taliban despised al Qaeda tactics, why didn&#x27;t they agree to the US demands after 9-11. Or why didn&#x27;t they boot al Qaeda out of the country before 9-11.<p>Taliban were complicit before and after the attacks.
