Afghan swords?

[scotjute]

I saw a news clip over the weekend of about 20-30
Afghans(?) holding swords over head. The blade
resembled a katana, but the sword appeared to be
single-handed. Anyone see the news clip or know what
type of sword(s) they have?

the swords that they had were saudi siefs and yatagans.
