Alwaght- Afghan Taliban have occupied three more provincial capitals on Sunday as the militants take their fight to the cities after seizing much of the countryside.
Kunduz, Sar-e-Pul and Taluqan in the north fell within hours of each other bringing number of fallen provincial capitals since Friday to five.
Taliban fighters seized key government buildings in Kunduz, leaving government forces hanging onto control of the airport and their base, a provincial assembly lawmaker said on Sunday, raising fears it could be the latest to fall to the Taliban.
The city of 270,000, is regarded as a strategic prize as it lies at the gateway to mineral-rich northern provinces and Central Asia.
