Taliban capture first Afghan provincial capital as US, NATO forces withdraw, report says

Taliban fighters reportedly have captured their first provincial capital Friday since U.S. and NATO troops began pulling out of Afghanistan: the city of Zaranj in southern Nimroz province.

"Taliban have the control of Zaranj city," Rohgul Khairzad, the deputy governor of Nimroz province, told NBC News in a Facebook message, noting that it fell around 4 p.m. local time.  Florida Rep. Michael Waltz points out that the troop withdrawal was not conditioned on Mark Frerichs release from custody, which is fueling concerns that the U.S. could lose bargaining power to get him home.
