KABUL The Taleban militia Sunday recaptured the central Afghan city of Bamiyan from the Northern Alliance, Taleban Information Minister Mulla Amir Khan Muttaqi told AFP. Bamiyan was recaptured today after the operation began from two sides, to the north and south of the city, he said. The militia had lost the city to the Hezb-i-Wahdat faction of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance amid a reported uprising on April 21.
