nytimes.com - KABUL, Afghanistan — Assailants armed with heavy weapons and suicide vests stormed the provincial prosecutor’s office on Thursday in one of the most peaceful cities in northern Afghanistan, battling security forces for more than six hours and leaving at least 10 people dead and dozens wounded.
The attack took place in Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of Balkh Province, which has long been seen as a model of economic prosperity and stability. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the latest in a string of bloody assaults ahead of what is expected to be an intense fighting season.
