Taliban terrorists entered Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Sunday as the United States evacuated diplomats from its embassy by helicopter and a government minister said power would be handed over to an interim administration.

A senior interior ministry official told Reuters the Taliban terrorists were coming “from all sides” into the capital but gave no further details.
