Global terror Election officials in Afghanistan braced themselves for one of the world’s most challenging polls as Taliban insurgents escalated their offensive on Kabul, the capital, ahead of Thursday’s vote.
Gunmen stormed a bank building in the Afghan capital and battled police for hours on Wednesday morning in the third major attack in Kabul in five days. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters news agency the raid was carried out by five gunmen, some wearing suicide bomb vests. Police sources said three fighters and three policemen were killed during the four-hour siege.
