Archives

Ismael Khan, pre-Taliban governor of Herat province (on the Iranian border), and two nearby provinces,  has returned to Afghanistan. Herat was captured by the Taliban in 1995. Khan was captured by the Taliban in 1997, but escaped three years later and fled to Iran. It is thought that Khan only returned because of assurances of aid from Iran.
