Washington (AFP) - Afghanistan's harsh winter will create new difficulties for people wishing to leave with the Kabul airport still in disrepair, a US official warned Monday. Thomas West, the US pointman on Afghanistan, said that the Taliban still has largely made good on promises to let US citizens and US long-term residents leave if they so choose after the insurgents' overthrow of the Western-backed government. "I think the real challenge we face," West told reporters, "is potentially logistical especially as we head into the winter months." "Many runway lights are damaged and not functioni...
