KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th February, 2021) An Afghan army special force unit has busted a Taliban prison in the northern province of Baghlan, releasing 25 soldiers and 17 civilians, the commando corps said on Tuesday.

Kabul and the Taliban continue fighting despite months of peace talks in Doha, which appear to have stalled as the new US administration put the Trump-era deal with the Islamist movement under review.
