The Taliban has taken another provincial capital in Afghanistan as American and Nato forces finalise their pullout from the war-torn country.

The council chief of northern Sar-e Pul province said the forces of the militant group overran the provincial capital, the city of Sar-e Pul, meeting little resistance in the last few days of their advance.
