Afghan police return to work manning checkpoints alongside Taliban security at Kabul airport

Afghan police have returned to work manning checkpoints alongside Taliban security at Kabul airport for the first time since the group captured Afghanistan.

Afghan police at Kabul airport have returned to work manning checkpoints alongside Taliban security for the first time since the Islamists seized power, officers said Sunday. When the Taliban swept into Kabul last month, ousting the government, police abandoned their posts, fearful of what the Islamists would do.
