'Nothing can stop us': Afghan female robotics team defiant after fleeing Taliban

DOHA, Qatar — They are known as Afghanistan's "robot girls."

The 10 high schoolers from Afghanistan's western city of Herat are members of a team that has made international headlines for several years for its work developing and building robots.

The team became a symbol of progress in modern Afghanistan, taking part in competitions around the world.

But with the Taliban now in power in Afghanistan, the girls have fled to Qatar in fear of the militant group's rule.
