War-weary residents of Kabul expressed anger and feelings of betrayal by the US on Saturday, as the world marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that prompted a United States invasion of Afghanistan and the toppling of its Taliban rulers.
After a two-decade occupation, US forces abruptly pulled out of Afghanistan last month, triggering the collapse of its Western-backed government and the Taliban's dramatic return to power.

A week after a man known to police because of his extremist beliefs stabbed seven people in a west Auckland supermarket, Newshub Nation can reveal the authorities are monitoring dozens more with "potentially violent extremist views".
Luckily no one was killed in last week's attack in New Lynn - police had been following the man closely, suspecting he might one day carry out an atrocity. If the Crown had its way he would likely have been in prison but for a loophole in the law, which meant he couldn't be charged with plotting an attack earlier this year.

The acting United States Ambassador to New Zealand says the current situation in Afgahnistan is "not how we wanted this to end".
Twenty years on from the 9/11 attacks that led to the War on Terror, the central Asian nation invaded by US-led forces in 2001 is back under Taliban rule. The Islamic fundamentalist group was deposed in 2001 after it refused to hand over al-Qaeda leaders based in Afghanistan who plotted the attacks.
