A new war against the Taliban is being prepared to be launched by former Afghan soldiers and politicians, a former Afghan army general has said.

Lt Gen Sami Sadat said that eight months of Taliban rule has convinced many Afghans that military action is the only way forward.

He said operations could begin next month after the Islamic Eid festival, when he plans to return to Afghanistan.

The Taliban took control of the country in a rapid offensive last August.
