Taliban assault Afghanistan's Kunduz city from three directions - BBC News: 

The assault comes a day after a bomb attack on a sports match in the eastern Paktika province killed nine people.
Monday's attack in Kunduz appears to be one of the most significant mounted on a provincial capital by the Taliban, correspondents say.
Kunduz is symbolically significant to the Taliban as it was their former northern stronghold before their government was overthrown in 2001.
