Afghan Opposition Says Taliban Lose Main Force

JABAL-US-SARAJ, Afghanistan (news - web sites) (Reuters) - Afghan opposition Northern Alliance Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah said Sunday that the main fighting force of the Taliban had been lost after their defeats in the north of the country of the last 48 hours.

He said his forces were now advancing toward the strategic province of Kunduz, which commands routes to the central Asian republic of Tajikistan.

``Our forces are slowing and gradually making an advance toward Kunduz,'' he told a news conference in Jabal-us-Saraj.

He said the Taliban had had 15,000 of its fighters in the north of Afghanistan and were now trapped and encircled in Kunduz province, and added that his fighters were in contact with forces inside the province and city.
