Taliban use US-provided weapons

Gareth Porter reports that the Taliban are using mines which were made by Italy and that were supplied to the mujahideen by the US when they were fighting the Soviets. So, America's policies generate blowback again.

There have also been reports that some USAID money (i.e. US taxpayers' money) was going straight to the Taliban
. This is because USAID's projects need to pay some money to the Taliban for "protection".
