KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Taliban extended its deadline for a deal for the release of a French hostage until after Sunday's French presidential election, as three suicide bombers attacked U.S. and Afghan forces in the south.

The Taliban leadership council had put off Saturday's deadline as a sign of mercy, Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf said by phone from an undisclosed location.

"We have extended it (the ultimatum) until the elections are over," Yousuf said.
