Afghan security forces have cleared Kunduz of Taliban fighters, an official said Sunday, one day after insurgents assaulted the northern Afghanistan city. The multi-fronted attack Saturday saw Taliban fighters try to overwhelm Kunduz from several directions in a bid to capture the strategically important city near the Tajik border. After heavy fighting that included US air support, interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told AFP on Sunday that the city was free of Taliban.
