Survived the Taliban, Get Robbed in Cleveland

(Cleveland, Ohio) Two women from Afghanistan arrived in Cleveland looking for opportunities to sell some Afghan products through retail outlets in Ohio. They had endured the Taliban for years in Afghanistan and survived only to be robbed by a common thief in Cleveland. As their luggage was being loaded into their van in a valet zone, the thief drove off with about $20,000 worth of jewelry, tapestries, and other products.
