Looting has broken out in Kandahar following the surrender of Taliban fighters under a deal in which they will be granted amnesty in return for handing over their weapons, new Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai said on Friday. It began on Thursday night when the Taliban began to flee, he told American television network CNN. He said that he hoped tribal forces moving into the Taliban's southern stronghold would get the situation under control as soon as possible. “I hope (they) will get there soon to take care of the security and law and order situation,” Karzai said.
