Afghanistan
Salang tunnel is open again
2002-01-19
  • Afghan and Russian leaders officially reopened the Salang Tunnel after workers cleared tons of debris left over from war there in the late 1990s. Twenty trucks loaded with Russian food and medicines for Afghans made up the first convoy to travel south through the tunnel under the Hindu Kush mountains.
    That'll help ease the humanitarian situation. And it wasn't the US that cleared it, so the UN and NGOs won't bitch about how we did it wrong.
