However, US Ambassador to Afghanistan William Wood insisted the Taliban were losing despite the jailbreak and the fighting in Arghandab.

“I would like to point out that six months ago there was also fighting in Arghandab and there was lots of headlines then that said Arghandab is about to fall and that wasn’t right then and it’s not going to be right now,” he told reporters during a visit to Washington.
