Taliban have expanded their influence across Afghanistan:
The Afghan Taliban have expanded their influence across Afghanistan and are now running a 'full-fledged insurgency' with their own 'governors' in all but one of the country's provinces, a senior North Atlantic Treaty Organisation intelligence official said on Sunday.
The Taliban have advanced deeper into Pakistan by engineering a class revolt that exploits profound fissures between a small group of wealthy landlords and their landless tenants, according to government officials and analysts here.
