Taliban take Mazar-e-Sharif

Kabul, Aug 14 (UNI) The Taliban on Saturday took Mazar-e-Sharif, in Balkh province, after a fierce four-pronged attack, reports say.
The Taliban militia have captured Mazar-e-Sharif, the last major city in northern Afghanistan still under government control, the BBC quoted local officials as saying.
The Taliban militants who now control most of the provincial capitals are moving closer to the capital Kabul, with their rapid advance showing no sign of slowing.
