In
the north of Afghanistan the forces of the Afghan governmental subdivisions
launched an offensive against the major strongholds of the detachments of Ahmad
Shakh Masoud. Representatives of
Shakh Masoud reported that they managed to repel an attack of Talibs in the
province Balk. According to them fierce fighting continues in the province Balk,
where Talibs have been pushed out of a number of settlements. However, Islamic authorities of Afghanistan do not confirm
this information.
According
to official data the fighting still is characterized by sporadic nature.
No reports about success of the opposition and failure of the Islamic
governmental forces are under mentioning. On
the contrary, in the last several days 8 commanders of the armed opposition
together with 300 fighters went over to Talibs declaring that they did it
consciously since Masoud and his circles act with the instructions of the
enemies of Afghanistan.
