TALUQAN, Afghanistan, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Taliban militants blew up a bridge in northern Takhar province, cutting the way between provincial capital Taluqan city and hundreds of villages on Tuesday, provincial police spokesman Abdul Khalil Asir said.
"A group of Taliban rebels blew up a main bridge in Chanzai area this morning and thus cut the way between provincial capital Taluqan city and hundreds of villages," Asir told Xinhua.
Confirming the incident, local villager Mohammad Hashim told Xinhua that the villagers had to walk several hours to reach Taluqan city.
Taliban militants, who according to the officials had destroyed at least three main bridges in Kunduz and Takhar provinces, are yet to claim responsibility for the latest attack. Enditem
