KABUL - The Taleban have killed or wounded more than 400 Afghan security personnel over the past week, the Interior Ministry said on Sunday , accusing the insurgents of increasing attacks ahead of expected peace talks.

He also accused the Taleban of targeting religious scholars in a bid to put"psychological pressure" on the Afghan government. On Friday, four people including a prayer leader were killed when a blast ripped through a mosque in Kabul during weekly prayers. TALEBAN REJECTS GOVERNMENT CLAIMS Interior Minister Massoud Andrabi said both the Taleban and Afghan forces had honoured the ceasefire during Eid.

The Taleban is currently conducting more than 60 attacks every 24 hours, he said, adding that insurgent fighters were coming from areas in Waziristan and Balochistan in neighbouring Pakistan. The Taleban have also not claimed launching any major attacks on Afghan cities since February, when they signed a deal with the US meant to pave the way for peace talks.
