| Anti-Taliban opposition forces today took control of Kandahar airport, a source close to former Kandahar governor Gul Agha said. "Our men moved to the airport without any resistance," said Akbar Jan who is a member of Gul Agha's family. "We have taken control of the whole airport because the Taliban have already pulled out." Agha's forces intended to move towards the city on Friday, he added. Kandahar airport is some 15 km southeast of the city. |
