Taliban fire shots to disperse protest in Kabul

The Taliban on Tuesday fired shots into the air to disperse crowds who had gathered for an anti-Pakistan rally in the capital, the latest protest since the hardline Islamist movement swept to power last month. The Islamists have yet to announce a government, but Afghans fearful of a repeat of the group's previous brutal reign between 1996 and 2001 have staged small, isolated demonstrations in cities including the capital Kabul, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif.
