After a 20-year occupation by Western forces that saw 457 British lives lost and £22billion spent, the insurgents took the capital Kabul after routing Afghan forces in just a week.
A total of 457 British service personnel died in the 20-year conflict in Afghanistan. Now the mothers of those killed have revealed their heartache at seeing the Taliban seize back control.
An Uzi Submachine gun, as well as over six kilogrammes of marijuana, were seized in Barataria last night.
The find was made by officers of the North Eastern Division Task Force under the direction of Sgt Martin, Cpl Daniel, and Cpl Duncan.
The officers received intelligence which led them to a bushy area off Sixth Avenue where a search was conducted.
Here, the lawmen found and seized the illegal items.
No one was arrested as at the time of the discovery there were no persons within sufficient proximity.
The operation was spearheaded by Snr Sup Maharaj, Sup Alexander, ASP Parriman, Insp Ramsingh, and others.
