Taliban Last Stand

Who knows if the rumors are true...probably not -- but the story is good! While I was waiting for our flight out of Kandahar, I was told that the airport has a nickname. The Taliban's last Stand. They say that this was the last building in Kandahar where they tried to hole up and make a stand. As you can see it was more of a place to catch a nap before the flight for us. There's certainly no shortage of old, beat-up buildings around here.
