More bad news; what are the Taliban trying to do - they can't capture and hold cities - can they?
Article here, excerpts below:
Commercial flights to Afghanistan's besieged northern city of Kunduz have been suspended, an official said on Thursday, as hundreds of Taliban militants fought against government forces struggling to oust them from the city's outskirts.
Nearly two weeks of clashes around Kunduz have forced thousands of people to flee their homes and posed the biggest challenge to the NATO-trained Afghan army and police since foreign combat troops withdrew at the end of last year.
...
The fighting prompted Afghan airline East Horizons to suspend its once-weekly flight from Kabul to Kunduz, the only commercial passenger air link to the northern city.
"Since there are security problems we have stopped," said Omid Sahi, an official at the airline's office in Kabul.
