KUNDUZ, Afghanistan - A Taliban suicide bomber struck a main square in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz where Afghan forces had gathered to defend the city from falling to the Taliban, killing at least 10 soldiers and civilians, Afghan officials said on Saturday.
The attacks forced the Afghan troops to rush in reinforcements to prevent the insurgents from gaining control of the city. Electricity and most telephone services were cut, and residents took shelter in their houses, making it difficult to gain a complete picture of the fighting. “The city is completely empty, shops are locked, people aren’t moving, and light and heavy weapons can be heard in several parts of the city,” said local resident Khaluddin, who like many Afghans goes by a single name.
