PTI: With sudden increase in the number of attacks on American troops from inside the Afghan National Security Forces, the Pentagon today said that some of these could be orchestrated by Taliban, even as it held "disgruntled elements" responsible for this.

"The pressure that we bring to bear on the Taliban is forcing them to look at new tactics. I can't say that these green on blue incidents originate with the Taliban. Some of them may, some of them may not," the Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told the media during a news conference.
