THE Taliban now holds a permanent presence of 72 per cent of Afghanistan according to the latest report by an influential think tank. But within hours of the International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) releasing this news various politicians and ambassadors from Afghanistan, America and Britain criticised its contents.

when I was captured by the Taliban just after the horrific events of 9/11 my mother captivated the world's media for the entire 10 days I was held in Afghanistan. She did better than any international diplomat as she briefed the press morning, noon and night and virtually became Britain's best known mum overnight.

IT IS NOT every day a boat gets an official escort into port but the Free Gaza and the SS liberty were given the VIP treatment by the Cypriot Coast Guard during the early hours of this morning as we headed towards Larnaca. Comments (2) | Quote this article on your site | Print | E-mail |
