...years ago, foreign al-Qaeda fighters turned the village of Mir Bacha Kot outside Kabul into a terrorist-training camp. Some six hours of video were recently found there, according to Afghan intelligence sources.

Some of them escaped by lying under water and breathing through straws, but the British wiped out most of the ringleaders and fanatics, battered down the walls of Golden Kot...
