Anti-Taliban forces make further advances 14 November, 2001 03:42 GMT Email this article Printer friendly version KABUL (Reuters) - Four provinces in eastern Afghanistan have fallen from Taliban hands after the local population rose up in revolt, opposition Northern Alliance Interior Minister Yunis Qanuni told Reuters. "Now the Taliban have less than 20 percent of the territory of Afghanistan," Qanuni told Reuters on Wednesday. He said the four eastern provinces of Laghman, Logar, Kunar and Nangahar, which are populated mainly by the majority ethnic Pashtuns who make up the Taliban, had been lost by the fundamentalist militia. But he stopped short of saying his Northern Alliance fighters held the areas, including the eastern city of Jalalabad -- a Taliban stronghold that controls the road from Kabul to the border with Pakistan. "We are also receiving reports of uprisings in Kandahar," he said, referring to the southern powerbase of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar. reuters.co.uk
