Seven members of Afghan security forces killed in attack that officials blame on the Taliban
At least seven members of the Afghan security forces were killed on Thursday in an attack officials blamed on the Taliban, the first deadly assault since a three-day ceasefire ended.
According to Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission, civilian casualties fell by 80 percent during the temporary truce. The surprise truce offer from the Taliban and the lull in fighting has raised hopes that stalled peace negotiations between the insurgents and the Afghan government could begin soon.
