Ok...<smile> Here's your reward... Kabul falls to Northern Alliance, Taliban flees tehelka.com 50 to 60 troops of the Northern Alliance, with their distinctive pakool caps, were seen entering Kabul from the north in jeeps early Tuesday Kabul, Nov 13 (AFP): Opposition troops entered Kabul today, according to an AFP reporter in the capital. Fifty or 60 troops of the Northern Alliance, with their distinctive pakool caps, were seen entering the city from the north in jeeps and four-by-four vehicles. They were armed with kalashnikov rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. One group was seen escorting four Taliban fighters. Small crowds of Kabul residents lined the streets in the north of the city to cheer the arrival of the Northern Alliance forces. They chanted "Allah o Akhbar (God is Great)" as the opposition troops chanted back the same. No Taliban troops were sighted in the capital. In the street lay three or four bodies of Taliban soldiers, apparently blown up by US warplanes. In a sign that the Taliban influence had waned in the city, local men were seen without the turbans required by the Islamic regime, and were walking with simple caps.
