Members of the Interior Ministry raided a migrant reception camp in the vicinity of Subotica, where they found 109 migrants, 25 of whom were persons of security interest, the media reports.
According to information, the police also found automatic rifles, weapons and ammunition.

The Taliban are finally beginning to consolidate power in Afghanistan.

The group is appointing government ministers as it attempts to form a functional apparatus.

The first appointment was an open mockery to the United States - Mullah Abdul Qayyum Zakir as a Defense Minister.

Zakir is a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner between 2001 and 2007.

There was also talk about how the return of the Taliban to power will affect relations in the Middle East and whether a new wave of migrants is threatening Europe.

The Taliban on Sept. 1 paraded some of the military hardware they captured during their takeover of Afghanistan, as a team from Qatar landed at the trashed airport in Kabul - a first step towards getting the facility back up and running as a lifeline for aid.

U.S. forces are in the final phase of leaving Kabul, ending two decades of involvement in Afghanistan, and just over 1,000 civilians at the airport remain to be flown out before troops withdraw, a Western security official said on Aug. 29.

In a conversation with Russia Today, Jim Laurie said that it was over now and that many Afghans, who were promised to be evacuated because they worked for American troops, would be left in the lurch.

The Pentagon has spent billions of dollars since 2001, when US troops entered Afghanistan for what is known as the "war on terror" following the September 11 attacks. The end of US military presence in the country may already be seen if the ongoing negotiations in Doha between the United States and Taliban representatives are successful.

An Afghan army helicopter carrying 25 people crashed in western Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing all those on board, officials said.    

A major shakeup at the top level in the nascent Afghan army amid a resilient Taliban insurgency has caused shockwaves in the war-stricken country.

At least 65 extremists from the Islamic State terrorist group were killed and 18 injured in Afghan army operations in the eastern province of Nangarhar, TASS reported.

The operations were carried out on land and air. A peaceful citizen died, 13 other people, including women and children, were injured.
