that's a belief shared by artists in kabul. reporter: life in kabul is a bit brighter when these artists brandish their own weapons--paintbrushes against terror and fear today they are painting pictures of football players from the national team. it's an attempt to conjure images of peace -- in a city still shaken by war. omaid sharifi: these guys are giving hope. like football at this moment of time. hope is gone, people are leaving this country, they're giving hope. reporter: sharifi and his friends want to inspire courage in their compatriots. and they need courage to do it. this wall is actually part of a government ministry. it's supposed to act as a shield against terrorists. it's not wise to linger here. attacks occur in this city almost daily. only hours earlier, a friend of sharifi's was killed. omaid sharifi: i really don't know how to react to this anymore. the lastime when i was painting in the street, i didn't care about this. but today i'm really afraid, i'm really afraid that it's coming closer to us, every singl

, horrible attacks on soft targets in kabul.you compare that to what isis has been blamed for, really, a fraction of that, at least in that part of the country, that part of the world, afghanistan, pakistan, but tens of thousands, place the taliban, which i think many people forget about, relate its csignificance to the group of the taliban today. are they still a more significant threat and problem? >> taliban is a large threat to afghanistan, but we don't see them going into large exterritorial things. of course, they have a relationship with isis, so if you're talking isis, you have a larger organization, taliban is considered part of that. look at the taliban, itself operations in afghanistan and pakistan, they are a threat to that region and those countries whereas isis looks to be a much more international threat. we see isis expanding from the power bases in iraq and syria into libya, into yemen and africa, a much more fluid and much more expanding operations, so two different real threats. they are both threats and dange

in kabul. when the taliban took over kabul, he had to go to the mountains in the north. the taliban allied themselves with al qaeda, and al qaeda became kind of a sponsor of the taliban, provided financial, military assistance to the taliban, and the taliban allowed al qaeda to operate and plan and recruit and train on its territory. just a couple of days before 9/11, two people of moroccan, north african origin, that had belgian passports, this was recently in the news, because of terrorist attacks there. the extremist presence in brussels has deep roots and has been going on for a long time. these two belgians, passport holders, pretending to be journalists and wanting to interview massoud, but wanting him and themselves up. massoud and themselves up. this was a favor that al qaeda was doing for the taliban. it was an exchange for what they must have known that al qaeda leadership was coming, which was an attack on the united states. by doing this favor, they had hoped that in the coming crisis, the taliban will not abandon them. by doing them this huge favor, they wan

thousands of ethnic hazaras have marched to the capital of kabul.y say the rerouting of a powerline is because of official bias. they are calling on the government to change those plans. time for business news. warren buffett, he is taking a bite of the big apple. >> billionaire warren buffett was made -- has made many lucrative investment but has so far avoided putting money into tech companies. until now. his firm has reported that he has acquired apple shares during the first quarter. apple only recently decline in revenues for the first time in 13 years. with buffet is a prominent stakeholder, things could the prominent again. for a closer look at that and the latest taken the market, let's bring in our correspondent. warren buffett is getting into tech stocks. what is happening? >> one thing's for sure, when warned buffet calls investors --overall warren buffett is not known as an activist shareholder, he's more of a value type of investor, meaning he is probably not going to ask for big changes within apple. he looks at companies and if he lik

the announcement came to the same time the taliban claimed an attack in kabul.poke to the dean of john hopkins school of advanced international studies. what do you know? >> he is not a military leader. he is not someone with a great deal of influence on military strategies. this was a quick selection. . days they did it in a new way of putting his face out there quickly. the significant thing is that he theot a notorious head of haqqani network. theyone suspected that deputy of mullah mansoor would become the leader. this was the most significant thing. because he is not a military commander and not the most senior of the leaders of the tally ban, he will have sometimes to consolidate power. over whetherestion he will be anything more than a stuffed shirt. that someone like haqqani will be calling the shots. katty: in terms of what this might mean for negotiations between the taliban and the in government, can we learn anything? >> i do not think anything new will happen quickly. it is good that mullah mansour is out of the way. he was very opulent. he is out o

kabul, as they took they said if they ever get a hold of him, they will hang him. they did the same thing in they are doing the same thing. in the name of the brotherhood or whatever people think they are doing or not doing. going forward, we need to have learned the lessons, in my opinion. marvin: for a moment there i thought you were going to suggest building a wall. [laughter] >> in a sense, we do not have a shared vision of part of the conflict and you can be a mediator. it is mostly between afghan. another said it is mostly between them and pakistan. patella been -- the taliban said it is between them and us because they want us out of there. pakistan said the conflict is with india and afghanistan is a strategic point and that is where the weight of the resolution has to live. so that is a very brief way of pointing out one of the real challenges and why we have not been able to get this out of the ground. without getting into the details of the differences in the tele-band. -- the television. .- the taliban and talk about incentives, right now the biggest di

another story is, again, you know, we had very limited in kabul in those days. there were only two operational bathrooms. we had the long lines in the morning to use the facilities. he did not pull rank, although he could have to go ahead of the line. he was standing, in-line, holding a towel. a young marine from behind took a photo of the back of his head, so he turns around, he says, what are you doing? and i says, he is taking its photo for his mother. and he said, how would she recognized me? so, he turned around and said, take the photo now. and the marine did, and he was very pleased. he said some colorful things also, so the vice president did come for a visit, and he spent some time there. host: all right, this is not a serious policy issue, but you also talk in the book, when you are u.n. ambassador, about staying at the wall of a story -- about staying at the waldorf astoria. we as a country pay for the ambassador from the united states to the u.n. to stay at the waldorf. here is video from you in 2008, and your wife, in the u.n. apartment when you wer

brigadier general cleveland: so, starting with your first question about the lessons learned by kabul. and the real point speaks to the lessons learned. and our role is to support them and the implementation of those lessons has come and its first big lesson is the need to get out of these defensive positions and not wait for the enemy to attack them. they have to take the fight to the enemy and project that combat power and get the fight away. in the february, beginning of march, they launched a nationwide offensive. they did not put out a whole lot of press out about it bus they were trying to reach out to the taliban and bring them to the table as part of the group. once it became clear that the taliban said no, they launched their own offensive and launched that terrorist attack here in kabul. the government started pushing it. even prior to the recent attacks, they had been launching attacks and they had been hitting taliban locations where they have been trying to prep for that i offensive. when they start the engaging the city, by and large, they were pretty successful and able

after a bombing here in kabul that killed six 4 peoe -- 64 people, the president hardened his stance against pakistan and the taliban saying that pakistan was a harboring the taliban and the fact that he was killed in pakistan really bears them out. and we have not seen a lot of reaction from pakistan. the last time the americans launched a big operation in pakistan was in 2011 the assaults and the killing of osama bin laden and after that happened there was a huge outrage in afghanistan that the americans had done something on sovereign territory. it is a quiet in pakistan right now. pakistan says they want the peace process to go forward but afghanistan says they want to see some progress so it's unclear right now what happens with the next step will be for the taliban and what the next step will be in trying to move the peace process forward. >> jennifer glasse thank you so much. >> stewart: secretary of state john kerry, who joins the president in vietnam tomorrow, was also in asia today, to offer support for the new government in myanmar, formerly known as burma. kerry met with

the six were hanged at a prison outside the capital of kabul.y were the first executions approved by afghan president ashraf ghani since he took office two years ago. following last month's suicide bombing in kabul that killed 64 people, ghani vowed to "show no mercy" toward taliban terrorists. the taliban said it would avenge today's hangings. it controls more territory in afghanistan than at any time since it was driven from power by u.s.-led forces in 2001. afghan officials say speeding to avoid taliban checkpoints may have led to today's fatal collision of two buses and a fuel truck in a province where the taliban is active. all three vehicles burst into flames and officials say more than 70 people died, many of them children. the u.s. military academy at west point is investigating if a photograph of black female cadets violates restrictions on political activity by military personnel. the pre-graduation photo taken 10 days ago shows 16 uniformed cadets with their clenched fists raised, which some interpret as expressingupport for the black

that's a belief shared by artists in kabul.

as soon as they took kabul, they said that if they ever get hold of zarashad, they will hang him. they did the same thing with mr. karzai and they're doing the same thing now in the name of pashtun brotherhood or whatever people think they are doing or not doing. so going forward, we need to have learned the lessons, in my opinion. >> for a moment there, i thought you were going to suggest building a wall. [ laughter ] >> not at all. >> scott, why don't you wind this up? >> i'll wind it up very briefly by pointing out a quote i think that barney ruben recently made, which is, you know, there's a conflict about the conflict in the sense that we don't have a shared vision of who's actually part of the conflict and therefore, who can be a mediator. and barney pointed out that for us in the u.s., the conflict is between the afghans and taliban, and we can mediate that. the president said the conflict is between him and pakistan. the taliban says it's between them and us because their main demand is to get us out of there. pakistan says the conflict is really with india, and you know,

the pentagon says he was actively involved with planning attacks against fits in kabul and across afghanistan, presenting a threat, not only to afghan civilians, but to security forces as well as u.s. and coalition personnel. the drone strike occurred at 6:00 a.m. this morning eastern time. it targeted two men in a remote area of pakistan near the border with afghanistan. u.s. officials say they are still assessing the results of this strike, but their initial assessment is that both men were likely killed in today's operation. i want to bring in our cnn senior international correspondent, nick peyton walsh on the phone from beirut, and our intelligence and security analyst as is is bob baehr, and military analyst, colonel leyton and cnn contributor, a big group of folks with a lot of experience in this part of the world. nick, beginning with you. what details are you hearing? >> minimum at this stage. there's an important caveat here, if he's dead. they are saying he's the target of the raid by a multiple unmanned aircraft, and was likely killed at 6:00 your time, and a second man traveling

we received a note from kabul yesterday that the neck step is the selection. but you were looking at the consequences. in the days have been far behind us now to deliver an address although he didn't entirely close the door indicated if he didn't close it with the taliban he probably had closed with pakistan so those relations have deteriorated so i want to ask the panel what are some of the implications and to address that also to say is there anything the international community can do to alleviate what might be a serious development and for that matter is the role for the united states to step in on the political side as well having done so do we have many cards left to play? >> first of all, let's look at the peace talks. if we can help the peace stability. afghanistan faces security threats and there are two ways. in to do it deduced the of level of threat and to build that capacity to go he ended he and. -- he had in hand and it would be good to have the peace talks however there are many complications. but on the other hand, the less chance the taliban

. >> back there is kabul, afghanistan, where i lived until 2013. >> for people here they won't believehe dangers that ali and his family face in the kabul are almost unfathomable to most teenagers. >> my sister did five like kidnapped her, but she like ran away. my dad, there was an attack on him, and he got injured, too. i remember one time, me and my mom, we were in the taxi, and we were going somewhere, there was like a suicide which broke like every window, which that was the closest i got. >> ali speaks so matter of factually about kidnapping, suicide bombers, because those terrors are just a part of every day life in afghanistan. >> everyone in afghanistan, when they get out of their house, and they are not sure that they can make it back to the house. >> ali appreciate everything that's been afforded him in america. down to the fresh felton the practice balls. >> here you see like thousands of balls, hundreds of the balls, a hundred balls, in every academy, and we used to wait like weeks, i remember, to get like new balls from iran, like they didn't have tennis balls inside of a

the article states that, quote, "travel agents in kabul have been surprised by afghans showing up at their offices with cuban visas, which are suspected of having been issued in iran or acquired on the black market," end quote. it is suspected they use cuba as a gateway into the united states or canada. and without objection, i ask unanimous consent that this article be inserted into the record. what this article reflects is truly frightening, given the fact that cuba currently has zero document verification machines at any of its airports. they do not have any electronic means of trying to verify whether any of the documents being presented to them are, in fact, what they purport to be and authentic. so, there you have it. these are the concerns, and they are multifaceted and serious. we are here today not to elaborate on the merits of the administration's rapprochement with cuba, but to take a serious look, as is our job, at the national security implications of a policy that has been pushed through at breakneck speed with seemingly minimal regard for the security and safety of the

the other part of it, though, is also that they need to make sure that the current government in kabul stays. that it is able to not only exercise power, but keep power. and that, of course, is something that they are, at best, doing very, very tenuously at this point. >> buck, we know that mansour, in his leadership of the taliban, has been a key obstacle in any effort to restart peace talks, between the afghan government and the taliban leadership. looking at this, he's gone. is there any indication that whoever might follow him, assuming it is confirmed that he is killed, would be more likely to speak with the afghan government? >> well, it certainly seems counterintuitive. and i know that an administration spokesperson has already come out and said this. counterintuitive that when somebody's an obstacle to peace talks, that you blow them up in their car, and the next person that takes over the taliban will be more likely to be willing to talk about having some sort of a reconciliation or some kind of an agreement. i think it's likely to go in the other direction, quite honestly. an

that's a belief shared by artists in kabul.

for the newly formed national unity government in kabul.he economy that schrock and the bubbles that burst after so many years of keeping the economy afloat. we realized it was artificial. finally, the regional context has been shifting. we hope for some real change and real strategic shift, especially with regards to pakistan. for a while, we bought a new government in kabul, new --dership might crack in the crack the nit. -- nut. it did not. we are seeing there is so much more that needs to be done and it is not that simple and easy. the expectation that developed over 2014 and before that -- and i am not going to dwell, at this stage, how mr. karzai handle this transition and what he left behind for the rest of us -- but this transition obviously has not resulted in what most of us expected. some of us saw some of the fault lines and tried our best to convey that and express that and tried to find ways to mend them and correct the course. some of us were too optimistic. some of us heightened expectations of the very beginning for unneces

targets in kabul. and this shows why the u.s.riking in this tribal area of pakistan. this is not a covert cia strike. the u.s. won't talk about, wolf. this is a u.s. military by passing the pakistani government, and striking in a very sensitive area. under mansour's leadership, we have seen a dramatic increase in violence against the u.s. troops. he was resisting efforts to bring the taliban to peace talks. so the u.s. had a good intelligence, took the target of opportunity. but wolf, i think it's too early to know what the u.s. actually achieved by taking out the leadership. the -- you heard from the president, and he hopes this will bring the taliban to the table. but it could have the opposite effect. we're months from a succession of mansour's replacement, some of the names being heard could be even more deadly, and this could lead to a splinter of the taliban. and this also may further antagonize pakistan, who by all accounts hasn't done enough to crack down on the taliban but was trying to pressure the taliban and mansour i

was young, had just graduated from high school, so i went to high school in can be -- high school in kabul, and my father was an ambassador in czechoslovakia, and we heard the russians took over, which was a shock, and it came in as such a shock that at first we didn't know, like, okay, they invaded the country. i was so young. didn't know the meaning of it, because afghanistan -- i was raised in the golden ages. we didn't think of war. i'd never seen a gun before or a tank or anything else. so, to me, it was like, okay, somebody invaded and they will leave and they will go back. so, we slowly immigrated to the united states. my father had the attitude after three years we would go back, and the american ambassador in germany gave my father -- we eh was going to give him citizen ship, green card, everything. he said, no, no, no, i'm not going to do that. i'm going back. so to make a long story short we stayed for 25 years. september 11th happened. and when september 11 happened, of course my father was one of the first people that went to afghanistan, and he was the deputy political foreig

there have been other mistakes like, for example, the control of kabul was left to the northern alliances which were mostly nonpistoon and that helped the taliban revive themselves later on and that kind of violence continues today and that is the reason why it is not that effective in the pestoon dominated areas of afghanistan. >> sreenivasan: what about the diplomatic and i political imcas about the fact there was any sort of signal given before the launch, the level of distrust that exist wean the two countries? >> i agree with riaz mohammad khan that there were a lot of policy mistakes my by the nats in particular missing early opportunities to include the taliban in afghanistan so they would have not fled to pakistan. now, your question was, if you can repeat it? >> sreenivasan: i was just asking what about the level of distrust between these two countries? >> yes. the united states has had experiences where, when they have given advanced notice to pakistan about a counterterrorism action, that somehow the target of that action escapes, and clearly, you know, of course, there are lo
