We decided to drive on to Kabul.

It was very harrowing.

We saw one journalist being walked off the side of the road by Taliban gunmen,

who were just apparently in the car ahead of us.

We made it to Kabul safely.

The next day, the journalist we had been with drove to Kabul.

They got pulled out of their car and five of them were executed on the side of the road.

So it was still a very chaotic time.

And we knew the Taliban were out there and still armed.

They had just fled Kabul and other places.

It had nothing left.
