Taliban Seizes Key City, Leaving Kabul ‘Effectively Surrounded’

The Taliban seized a key city on their march to Kabul that effectively leaves Afghanistan’s capital city surrounded as Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration scrambles to evacuate as many Americans as possible.

“Jalalabad is now under Taliban control,” Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow and Editor of FDD’s Long War Journal, tweeted. “Given the city’s importance to the province, Nangarhar is now assessed as Taliban controlled. Whatever pockets of possible resistance exist won’t exist for long. Kabul is effectively surrounded.”
