In Farah, Taliban fighters dragged the shoeless, bloody corpse of one Afghan security force member through the street, shouting, "God is great!" Taliban fighters carrying M-16 rifles and driving Humvees and Ford pickup trucks donated by the Americans rolled through the streets of the capital. Hujatullah Kheradmand, a lawmaker from Badakhshan, said the Taliban had seized his province's capital, Faizabad. He said the U.S. was providing air support, food, equipment and salaries to Afghan forces. Taliban fighters patrol inside the city of Farah.
