Report: Taliban's Reach in Afghanistan Widest Since 2001 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, U.N. data shows the Taliban's reach in Afghanistan is wider
than at any point since the 2001 U.S. invasion. The United Nations rates
about half of Afghanistan's administrative districts as under a "high"
or "extreme" Taliban threat, which appears to conflict with more
optimistic statements by U.S. Commander John Campbell before Congress
last week.
