After operating out of Pakistan for more than a decade, the leaders of AfghanistanÄôs Taliban movement may have moved back to their homeland to try to build on this yearÄôs gains in the war and to establish a permanent presence. If confirmed, the move would be a sign of the TalibanÄôs confidence in their fight against the U.S.-backed government in Kabul. (AP Photos/Allauddin Khan, File)
