Kabul, Peshawar, and some cities in Nangarhar, Afghanistan.

Jalalabad is the capital of Nangarhar Province, in Afghanistan. It is one of the largest cities in Afghanistan.

It lies one of the first paved roads, connecting Afghanistan's capital Kabul, with the border crossing at Torkham, and ultimately to Peshawar, Pakistan.

Jalalabad is northeast of the rugged areas of Tora Bora, which al Qaeda and Taliban survivors used as an escape route to Pakistan in 2001-2002.
