The rutted street is strangely empty. The only sound comes from brittle leaves crackling in the hot wind and then, far away, a soldier’s warning, “Don’t touch anything!”

Unlike in many other parts of Miramshah that the Pakistan army has walked or driven us through, there are no charred houses and storefronts on this street. No billboards, sheets of metal and pipes lying beside damaged buildings. No bullets pockmarking walls everywhere. No cars, their chassis burnt and twisted.

Ghani, Abdullah agree to audit of all votes after talks with Kerry

KABUL: Afghanistan’s feuding presidential rivals agreed on Saturday to a full audit of every vote cast in the disputed runoff election, US Secretary of State John Kerry said following two days of frantic negotiations.
