[0:44] From ABC News world headquarters in New

[0:47] York, this is World News Tonight,

[0:51] Sunday. Good evening everyone. I'm Carol

[0:54] Simpson. Tonight, the focus is on

[0:56] Kandos. Thousands of the Taliban's most

[1:52] fighters. Most of them are foreigners,

[1:55] including Usuzbcks, Chhatchin
