Afghan forces repel Taliban attack on the outskirts of Afghanistan's key western city of Herat as the insurgents press on with their sweeping offensive

Afghan forces have repelled a Taliban attack on the outskirts of Afghanistan's key western city of Herat, officials said, as the insurgents pressed on with their sweeping offensive.

Violence has surged across the country since the insurgents launched their assault in early May, soon after the US-led foreign forces began their final withdrawal which is now almost complete."The Taliban fighters had launched attacks near the city of Herat in the district of Guzara last night," Jailani Farhad, spokesman to Herat provincial governor, told AFP.

Farhad said sporadic fighting continued in the district up until now, adding up to 40 Taliban militants had been killed in the fighting. Afghan forces and militiamen of veteran warlord and anti-Taliban commander, Ismail Khan, were deployed around the city of about 600,000 inhabitants, an AFP correspondent reported.

He was killed last week after being shot multiple times by the Taliban. You guys seemed sensible. Do not jump in cemetery of USA and Russia. If he was a 'comedian', can we please see ANY of his art? According to most Afghans, he was a CIA-backed warlord & a known pedophile who would rape young children at his base.
