Taliban capture major city in Afghanistan, free hundreds of prisoners

Taliban insurgents launched a massive assault on the northern city of Kunduz Monday, seizing a courthouse, a hospital and other government buildings, and freeing hundreds of inmates from a prison, despite a series of battles with government forces.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told The Associated Press that "Kunduz city has collapsed into the hands of the Taliban."

"Security forces in Kunduz were prepared for an attack, but not one of this size, and not one that was coordinated in 10 different locations at the same time," Sediqqi said.

Sen. John McCain again blasted the early withdrawl of forces scheduled for next year in Afhganistan as a result of the Taliban success.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani vowed to retake Kunduz from the militants, saying the U.S. had helped in the effort by hitting Taliban forces as they attempted to seize the airport at Kunduz as well.

I'm beginning to think the best answer for the whole world is to carpet bomb from just west of the Indian border, north to the former Soviet-Muslim republics, all the way to Tehran, Baghdad, and just east of Lebanon. Including Saudi Arabia.

But that's extreme, huh?
