Ahmad Massoud, son of a legendary mujahideen commander, is heading up the heavily-armed uprising.

It is not known how many casualties have been suffered by the rebel force.

Massoud – son of Ahmad Shah Massoud – has vowed his army of rebels will “fight to the last breath”.

Known as the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, they are based in a mountain redoubt in Panjshir, north of Kabul, and have seen their numbers swelled by western-trained Afghan fighters who are fleeing the city.
