Afghan Police Resume Work With Talibans

Afghan police at Kabul airport have reportedly returned to work manning checkpoints alongside Taliban security for the first time since the Taliban seized power.

When the group swept into Kabul last month, police abandoned their posts, fearful of what the Taliban would do. But officers said they had returned to work yesterday after receiving calls from Taliban commanders.

Reports revealed this morning that police officers were deployed to several checkpoints outside the main buildings of the airport, including the domestic terminal.
