Afghans Who Fled Still Have Trouble
Oct 1, 2001 4:14PM    [AP Online]

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP)  Some Afghans who fled in recent days say Taliban 
authorities are dragging young men off to the army and desperately trying to 
prop up collapsing economies in crippled cities.

Some told of sons and husbands shot without explanation by Taliban 
militiamen in a growing mood of fear and confusion. Many said only poverty, 
illness and age prevent a greater exodus.

We'd be happy if America bombed Afghanistan  we just want to get rid of the 
Taliban, said Nazir Hussain, 50. There's no choice left except to flee.
