Taliban takes hold in once-peaceful northern Afghanistan


Taliban takes hold in once-peaceful northern Afghanistan
In squads of roaring dirt bikes and armed to the teeth, Taliban fighters are spreading like a brush fire into remote and defenseless villages across northern Afghanistan.

The fighters swarm into town, assemble the villagers and announce Taliban control, often at night and without any resistance.


According to Petraeus, everything is going just fine.
