Opposition Claims Capture of Taloqan KABUL, Afghanistan (news - web sites) (AP) - The opposition northern alliance claimed Sunday it had captured the northern city of Taloqan, which served as its capital until the Taliban drove it out in September 2000. Opposition spokesman Mohammed Abil, speaking by satellite telephone from Parwan province, said he received a radio message from the alliance defense minister, Mohammed Fahim, informing him that Taloqan had fallen. The claim could not be independently verified, and there was no confirmation from the Taliban. If true, the fall of Taloqan would be yet another sign of a significant shift in the balance of opposition and Taliban forces in the north since Taliban troops abandoned strategic Mazar-e-Sharif on Friday. news.yahoo.com
