WASHINGTON: US troops in Afghanistan are targeting enemies inside Afghanistan but don’t have authority to conduct operations in Pakistan, a top US military said. Kabul US Central Command Brigadier General Lance Bunch was briefing the press through a video conference from Afghanistan on Tuesday. He was asked specifically if the US has the authority to conduct a strike in Pakistan. “We are only targeting inside Afghanistan, inside of the combined joint operation areas in Afghanistan. And we are not, we don’t have the authority nor are we conducting operations in Pakistan,” Brigadier Bunch said.
