[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
The Afghans journey began in desolate Nimruz, Afghanistan's most sparsely populated province, largely covered by deserts and mountains. A Qatari aircraft has landed in Kabul carrying a technical team to discuss the resumption of airport operations after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. Bismillah Mohammadi, Afghanistan's defence minister before the government fell last month, said the Taliban had launched a renewed assault on Panjshir on Tuesday night. 'Last night the Taliban terrorists attacked Panjshir, but were defeated,' Mohammadi tweeted Wednesday, claiming 34 Taliban were killed and 65 wounded. 'Our people should not worry. They retreated with heavy casualties.' |
