• The Taliban has been assaulting the key city of Ghazni near Kabul for three days, and attacked police headquarters and other government buildings on Sunday, threatening to seize control of the city.
• Quoting a hospital official, Afghanistan's 1TV television reported more than 90 members of the security forces and 13 civilians had been killed, with more than 100 wounded.
• The attack on Ghazni leaves the future of peace talks with the Taliban uncertain.

Taliban insurgents attacked police headquarters and other government buildings in Ghazni in central Afghanistan on Sunday and were threatening to seize control of the city, with the main highway now heavily mined, local lawmakers and residents said.

U.S. aircraft conducted at least four air strikes but details of the fighting were unclear as most of the city's telecoms masts were destroyed in fighting over recent days.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
