KABUL — The Taliban attacked several buses on a road in northern Afghanistan on Tuesday morning, forcing passengers to disembark and killing nine people and abducting at least 35, officials said. According to Mahmood Danish, the governor’s spokesman, the assault in the volatile, northern Kunduz province took place in Aliabad district as the buses were traveling from the capital, Kabul, northeast to Takhar and Badakhshan provinces. [...] in the eastern Ghazni province, a bomb blast killed a civilian and wounded 12, including a local policeman, said Asadullah Shujayee, the deputy provincial police chief. [...] Tuesday, the Taliban launched attacks in southern Helmand province on the several districts and on the outskirt of the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, said Karim Atal, the head of the provincial council. Many of the attacks target police checkpoints, with Taliban fighters stealing weapons, ammunition and vehicles — and often abducting Afghan forces.
