Taliban Fire In Air To Disperse Protesters, Arrest Journalists

There was no immediate comment from the Taliban.

The Taliban fired into the air Tuesday to disperse protesters and arrested several journalists.  It's the second time in less than a week the group used heavy-handed tactics to break up a demonstration in the Afghan capital of Kabul. The demonstrators had gathered outside the Pakistan Embassy to accuse Islamabad of aiding the Taliban's assault on northern Panjshir province. The Taliban said Monday they seized the province — the last not in their control — after their blitz through Afghanistan last month.
