First signs of civil war emerge in Afghanistan

Thousands of Afghan fighters are reportedly gathering in the west of the country as the first signs of opposition to the new regime appear in Herat.

Gul Agha, the Governor of Kandahar and a supporter of Hamid Karzai’s interim Government, has accused Iran of sending vehicles and weapons to Shiite Muslims in western Afghanistan, who have long been the victims of the country’s Sunni majority.
