This is CBS I on the world with John Bachelor.

Here's John Bachelor.

I welcome my colleagues Bill Rajo, Senior Fellow Foundation for the Defense of Democracy,

keeps the Long War Journal,

and Ambassador Hessean, former ambassador from Pakistan to the United States,

now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

Gentlemen, the Financial Times Peace did us all the favor of providing visuals, satellite

visuals, of the

explosion,

in sharp increase of minds throughout Afghanistan said to be especially

keen for the Taliban government in Kabul.

But I note that the mines are exploding, especially

along the Chinese border and other parts of Afghanistan that used to be

associated with the Taliban in the hills and now al-Qaeda.

Bill, I start with you because the presumption I'm making one, the Financial Times doesn't say it,

is that all those training camps and safe havens that Al Qaeda has in Afghanistan now established.

They look surprisingly like some of the maps here of the mines,

especially the mines for Neffwright, which is a gemstone very dear to the Chinese and we can imagine that whoever minds it

would want to have a Chinese customer in mind.

To your knowledge, Bill, does that kind of work with the People's Republic of China in some fashion?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, John.
