Ananova - Ancient Buddhist city uncovered in Afghanistan

A Gandharan city, called Kaffir Got ("Kaffir"? I hope that's a coincidence and not a loanword from Arabic but I'm not betting on it) dating from the 2nd Century (AD, I assume) was discovered in southern Afghanistan. Thank goodness it was found now and not a year ago, or the Taliban would have blown it up.
