Taliban attacks bus convoy in Afghanistan, takes 170 hostage
Taliban militants have taken around 170 people hostage following an attack on a convoy of buses in Kunduz, according to reports. "So far, there is no news on the fate of the passengers," Afghan authorities said. This comes despite President Ashraf Ghani's announcement of a conditional ceasefire with the Taliban during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha this week.
