GUNMEN unleashed a full-frontal assault yesterday on government buildings in Afghanistan's largest southern city, a former Taliban stronghold where international and Afghan forces are trying to establish security and a functioning government.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault, saying militants flooded into Kandahar city and attacked the government buildings.
A government spokesman confirmed the attack on the governor's compound and the nearby mayor's office, but said he did not have information about whether intelligence agency buildings across town were also under assault.
