The Taliban terrorist group on Wednesday demanded the United States, among other countries, to abort its drone patrols over Afghan airspace or face “negative consequences.”

“Afghanistan’s sacred airspace is being occupied by U.S. drones,” Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on Twitter. “These violations must be corrected and prevented.”
