CNN asked to leave Afghanistan

KABUL, SEPT. 19. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has asked CNN to leave the country, the U.S. television news channel, said today. Mr. Nic Robertson, reporting from the Taliban headquarters at Kandahar, is one of the last remaining western journalists in Afghanistan which is bracing for possible strikes from the U.S. after last week's attacks on New York and Washington. The station said it was petitioning the Taliban for permission to stay. Most westerners have already left Afghanistan.
