Rahimullah Yusufzai talks to Mulla Abdul Kabir, governor of Nangarhar province, head of the three eastern Afghanistan provinces of Nangarhar, Laghman and Kunar, and deputy prime minister of Afghanistan. Excerpts:
It was surprising to find the Taliban take foreign journalists to Jalalabad airport. What was your reason?
How is the morale of the people?
The US and its allies say they want to overthrow the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Gen Pervez Musharraf has also said that the Taliban's days are numbered. Any comment?
How do you look at the change in Pakistan's policy on Afghanistan?
Would the situation change once American ground forces are sent to Afghanistan?
Would you please explain the latest Taliban position with regard to Osama bin Laden?
