Taliban hit by uprising
The awakening arrives in Afghanistan. Villagers in southern Afghanistan -the
birthplace of the Taliban 20 years ago have staged what's being called a first-of-
its-kind uprising. Army Maj. Gen. Robert B. Abrams says it's a promising
development in Kandahar province and it could spread to other districts. This comes
while U.S. and allied forces are taking a back-seat role in fighting the
insurgency.
