The White House has declared victory over Al Qaeda as U.S. troops depart from Afghanistan
But on Tuesday a Pentagon watchdog reported that the Taliban was 'providing safe haven for the terrorist group in Afghanistan'
The assessment will raise concerns that the country could again be used to launch attacks against the US
And with Americans and their allies racing for the exits, experts warned that Washington's human intelligence ability had been severely eroded
The UN reported recently that Al Qaeda's ailing leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was living in the country
On Tuesday the Taliban held a press conference and attempted to present themselves as a moderate governing force
Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid held his first news conference since taking Kabul on Sunday and said they would honor women’s rights - within sharia law
Video from Kabul shows heavily-armed militants driving around the city firing their guns, amid reports of activists and government workers being hunted down
