Afghanistan conflict: Life inside a Taliban stronghold

BBC News - Afghanistan conflict: Life inside a Taliban stronghold
The BBC's Panorama programme has gained unique access inside a Taliban stronghold, little more than an hour's drive from the capital, Kabul.
As we turned on a dusty road into the mountainous Tangi Valley, we were just 60 miles (97 km) south-west of Kabul and already deep in Taliban territory. The valley is known as the gateway to Kabul, and it is from here that attacks have been launched on the capital.
It is in the key province of Wardak - the scene of some of the most violent battles between Nato and the Taliban in recent years.
