PHILADELPHIA — The Taliban has her son, she says. It's starving him.
His captors have fractured his arm and beaten him, her beloved child, only 18.
Karimi, 40, tries to describe her torment. Can you imagine, as a mother, as a parent? Your son being broken, and you cannot help him? She's 7,000 miles away in Philadelphia, after the U.S. military evacuation of Afghanistan, while her boy is tortured in a Taliban jail because his parents fought for the Americans.
