Kabul - Mujahideen fighters fired shots in the air yesterday as they joined Kabul people celebrating the first end of Ramadan celebrations since the fall of the hated Taliban regime.
Gunfire echoed through the night and prayers were said, followed by joyful family reunions and feasts for Eid al-Fitre, the traditional end to the Muslim fasting month. Zabi Ullah, a soldier for nine of his 29 years, was among hundreds of fighters who spilled on to the streets soon after the new moon was spotted on Saturday night - signalling the end of Ramadan - to spray the night sky with bursts from his Kalashnikov.
