There is growing concern at lawlessness in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

After a spate of armed robberies and kidnappings, residents of some districts say they now fear night-time attacks.

Several people who have resisted have been murdered.

The BBC Kabul correspondent says armed crime was familiar in the mid 1990s but the Taleban disarmed the population and have been proud of the fact that they have brought security to the city.
