AlHijjah 17, 1436, October 01, 2015, SPA -- All government buildings captured in Kunduz by the Taliban have been retaken by Afghan security forces, according to the acting governor of Kunduz, Hamdullah Danishi, following a joint operation. "We have recaptured Kunduz city. There is some sporadic firing in some areas of the city, because some of the Taliban have hidden in civilian houses," he says, speaking to dpa by phone from the governor's building which had been under Taliban control. Danishi says some 600-700 Afghan security forces participated in the joint operation. He says foreign forces participated in the ground combat operation, and supported the Afghan troops with airstrikes.
