Sorry, Johannes, dass ich dafür extra einen eigenen Thread aufmachen, aber genau dies sind die Szenen, welche den Begriff "disintegration" zu einem gewissen Grad ausmachen.

After evening prayers in Quetta's Pushtunabad suburb, tens of thousands of Afghan and Pakistani Taliban pour on to the streets from mosques and madrassas -the religious seminaries - to take tea, eat ice-cream and plan their raids.

"We have the American forces and the puppet regime of [President Hamid] Karzai on the run. They will collapse soon" said a Taliban mullah in Pushtunabad bazaar.

The Taliban have bought hotels, shops and houses, forcing many frightened local residents to leave. Vehicle dealers say the Taliban have bought 900 motorcycles in the past three months in the Quetta region and another 250 in Loralai. Motorcycle guerrillas roam Afghanistan's rural areas attacking aid agency vehicles and isolated police posts.
