Interesting article on WorldNetDaily (I read it so you don't have to.) Anything on that site must be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. Remember their American Hiroshima stories? Al Qaeda was going to nuke us over Ramadan.

Real bad news in Afghanistan: Taliban regains control of much of country, Pakistan

In a report by Paul L. Williams, author of the new book, "Dunces of Doomsday," and David Dastych, one-eyed Mullah Omar and his army of radical Islamic students are currently in control of all of the rural and mountain areas of Afghanistan, including Khost, Paktia, Paktika, Ghazni, Zabul, Helmand, and Oruzgan, as well as a vast expanse of eastern and southern provinces including sections of Kandahar. They also have become the central governing body in South and North Qaziristan and other tribal territories of Pakistan.

Mir claims he has personally visited 12 provinces of Afghanistan in the past few weeks and has received first-hand confirmation that the Taliban has regrouped, recaptured much of the country, and remains intent upon ousting the coalition forces and toppling the puppet regime of President Hamid Karzai.

The article also goes on to implicate Iran in supporting the Taliban and Al Qaeda, so they may be trying to paint a dark picture so as to drum up support for war with Iran.
