It's a quiet day in Zim, so let's have a look at Afghanistan:

Seymour Hersch claims that the allies unwittingly helped to airlift out senior Taliban and Al Qaeda officials. Whoops.

Northern Alliance forces are fighting in Kunduz. I've also heard that they are doing so in Herat, but I've seen no references to this.

There are more refugees fleeing the Northern Alliance.
