Was surprised that I didn't see this here. So a dead warlord or a supporter of the U.S.?

Well now that throws a little bit of unknown into the pot. Wonder who will rise to the top of his clan and if they will wield the same power and influence with the Tajikis? Might be interesting times ahead in Kabul. We are getting out just in time methinks.

Let's see, what is going here in a few months? Yeah unknown for sure.

I just got here. I've never seen so little traffic in Kabul. A to B commutes have never been quicker. National holiday apparently again today.

Amrullah Saleh, former head of NDS maybe?
