 "Obama says Afghanistan will no longer 'be a source of terrorist attacks'")
United States President Barack Obama has said that Afghanistan will no longer "be a source of terrorist attacks", a week before the U.S. is set to withdraw its troops and ends its combat mission in the country.
Obama said that they had been in war for more than 13 years and next year the combat mission in Afghanistan would end, reported Fox News.
