KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)
—Taliban military forces
deserted the capital of Kabul on
Tuesday, after a series of stun
ning military victories by oppo
sition forces over the past four
days. At dawn, residents shouted
congratulations to one another,
honking car horns and ringing
bells on their bicycles.
Northern alliance forces
began moving into the capital in
pickup trucks loaded with sol
diers armed with rifles and
rocket launchers. They met no
resistance as they gained con
trol of military barracks that
only three hours before had
been in Taliban hands.
Associated Press reporters
heard sporadic small amts fire
coming from the hills overlook
ing the city, but the streets were
empty of the Taliban soldiers.
Taliban military compounds
were abandoned.
As they retreated, the Taliban
took eight foreign aid workers,
including two Americans,
accused of spreading Christianity
in Muslim Afghanistan, witness
es told AP.
“I saw them with my own
eyes. They put them in the
truck and then left at mid
night. They said they are going
to Kandahar,” said Ajmal Mir,
a guard at the abandoned
detention center in the heart of
the city where the eight had
been held.
From the rooftop of the
Intercontinental Hotel on a hill
overlooking Kabul columns of
Taliban vehicles could be seen
heading south beginning
Monday night. The exodus con
tinued after sun rise.
