US flies F-16s over Kabul as Taliban goes rogue

Taliban going rogue over its peace assurances to the US, the Qatar based Central Command has stepped up combat air patrolling of Kabul with F-16 fighters and bombing of east and south Afghanistan to prevent the military objective of the Islamist Sunni Pashtun force from capturing political power. The US Air Force Central Command is using gunships to attack Taliban positions in Pashtun strongholds of south and east Afghanistan. US planes have also bombed Sheberghan in Jowzjan and Lashkar Gah in Helmand. The US forces are to exit Afghanistan on August 31.
