Daoud Khan attacks Konduz from the east, Dostum from the west
Forces under Northern Alliance Gen Dawood attacked Konduz from the east, while those under Gen Dostum moved in from the west. Inside the city, al-Qaeda fanatics were preparing to kill Taleban defectors. Increasing numbers of refugees claim that Pakistani transport planes have been landing at the cityâs airfield, bringing American dollars for the trapped Taleban commanders and evacuating young Pakistani and Punjabi fighters. "We have chased Taliban from the hills dominating Khanabad, about 20 kilometers east of Kunduz," Sadreddine, a Northern Alliance commander stated.
