Heavy fighting is reportedly underway in northern Afghanistan, with the opposition alliance claiming the capture of six strategic Taliban-held posts.

The A-F-P newsagency quotes a spokesman for the opposition military commander as saying the offensive is focused on the districts of Hazar Bagh and Ziarat.

A-F-P says fighting has intensified in Afghanistan in the past week, with the disparate anti-Taliban forces that make up the Northern Alliance apparently emboldened by the massive U-S military build up in the region.

The Northern Alliance has broadly agreed to assist the U-S war on terrorism, taking the opportunity to try to topple the Taliban after years of civil war.
