Kabul, July 10 : Seven years after the eradication of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, one would have thought that the fight would have gone out of the Islamic fundamentalists, but if you ask those confronting this group in war-ravaged Afghanistan, he or she will just say: “You kill 20,000 Taliban, another 20,000 will follow”.
That in effect, sums up the resurgence of rabid Islamism.
For ordinary Kabulites, life pretty much goes on normally. The international community has colonised the Afghan capital, but that does not take away the growing fear among locals that a terror strike is just seconds or hours away.
