Afghanistan Remains Volatile, Civilians Killed
Story aired: Friday, August 22, 2003



As the U.S. military continues to try to bring law and order in Iraq, the situation in Afghanistan is becoming alarming again. In the past 10 days, over 100 people, mostly Afghan civilians, have been killed. Afghan officials say it is the work of the Taliban, a group the U.S. military says it put out of business early last year.

Guests:


Ahmed Rashid, Afghanistan expert who writes for the Far Eastern Economic Review and the Wall Street Journal
