KUNDUZ: The Taliban killed at least 20 Afghan
soldiers and policemen in a
string of overnight
attacks, government officials told AFP Wednesday, hours after US President
Donald Trump said he had had a "very good" chat with the
insurgents' political chief.
"Taliban fighters attacked at least three army
outposts in
Imam Sahib district of Kunduz last night, killing at least 10 soldiers and four police," said Safiullah Amiri, a member of the provincial council.
The insurgents also attacked police in central Uruzgan province Tuesday night, with the governor's spokesman
Zergai Ebadi telling AFP: "Unfortunately, six police were killed and seven wounded".
