Taliban launch Afghanistan raids

[Jimbuna]

Could well be the case that the Taliban don't want to wait until the troops leave in 2014.

I can't see Karzai lasting more than six months on his own.

Militants are carrying out what they say are co-ordinated attacks on Kabul and other targets in Afghanistan.
A Taliban spokesman said fighters were attacking embassies in the diplomatic enclave, Nato's HQ and the parliament building in the west of the capital.
Multiple blasts and gunfire have been heard across Kabul.
The Taliban spokesman said there were also attacks in Logar and Paktia provinces. There are also reports of suicide attacks in Jalalabad.
