POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT (gpeev@scotsman.com)

Angry Afghans are turning to the Taleban for support, said the Senlis Council, a French think tank which has staff in the volatile Helmand province.

Its founder told The Scotsman it spent its research budget on food after it found thousands starving in refugee camps and in the province's hospital.
