Afghan Strongman Shelters Former Taliban Insurgents
[AnNahar] An Afghan strongman is giving sanctuary to Taliban...the Pashtun equiovalent of men... fighters and their families who had sought haven across the border in Pakistain, building on a radical strategy to reduce Islamabad's perceived influence on the insurgency. Kandahar's powerful police chief Abdul Raziq last December called for a "safe zone" for Talibs, a contentious plan centred on Afghanistan's long-standing accusation that the insurgency is fuelled by Pakistain's support in cross-border sanctuaries.
