Agence France-Presse reporters heard ceremonial shooting from several locations in the capital where Taliban fighters are stationed, while comrades cheered as they crossed the barriers leading to the Green Zone.
We are making history again, and the US and NATO's 20-year occupation of Afghanistan ends tonight.
God is great, God is great, there is no god but God, God is great, and praise be to God.
I am very happy to see these historic moments after 20 years of jihad sacrifices and hardships.
I pray the souls of all the martyrs of jihad.
