A graduation ceremony is held for members of the Taliban security forces, who completed a two-month training at the 217 Al-Farooq's Corps Training centre in Afghanistan's eastern city of Herat. "All the weapons which were loot or left behind in Afghanistan, we are skilled over all of them now," declared the corps' trainer. In the last chaotic days of the Western-backed government during the US's military pullout last year, much military hardware gifted to Afghan police and armed forces fell into the hands of the Taliban.
