Fox News
The Taliban issued a statement Monday claiming that they have taken control of Panjshir province, which is located north of Kabul that served as the staging ground of the country’s top resistance force.
The anti-Taliban fighters had been led by the former vice president and the son of the iconic anti-Taliban fighter Ahmad Shah Massoud who was killed just days before the 9/11 attacks in the United States. Panjshir has been the focus of a days-long assault by Taliban fighters from "several directions," according to the Washington Post. The paper reported that both sides claimed victory during these clashes.More Related News
