Gen Mark Milley tells lawmakers Pentagon is investigating reports Russia paid for attacks on US soldiers in Afghanistan
Americas top general has said military intelligence agencies are working to corroborate reports of Russia paying Taliban fighters bounties for killing US soldiers and vowed a response if they were confirmed.
Gen Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, told the House armed services committee, that the Pentagon was committed to discovering whether Russian military intelligence had paid for attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Were going to get to the bottom of this bounty thing. If in fact there are bounties, Im an outraged general, just like every one of us in uniform is, Milley said. Thats a real big deal. We dont have that level of fidelity yet, but were still looking.
He suggested that the US may not be responding to the reports as robustly as necessary in non-military ways.
