Afghan warlord 'will fight to stay as governor'
An Afghan warlord who led the worst factional warfare since the fall of the Taliban vowed today to fight on rather than step down as governor of a province where tribal leaders have refused to accept his rule.
With a bandoleer of bullets across his chest, Bacha Khan said he has 6,000 fighters ready to do battle again with forces loyal to the town council, or shura, of Gardez, who oppose his appointment as governor of surrounding Paktia province.
