New York Times: Taliban Step Up Urban Assaults, Testing the Mettle of Afghan Forces

KABUL, Afghanistan — The urban attacks are suddenly coming at a dizzying pace — five in the first week of January alone. Three were relatively simple even if massive bombings, but in the others, Taliban gunmen entered important cities, seized buildings and hostages when they could, then set off their explosives vests when capture seemed imminent, sometimes after hours of fighting.

As the insurgents have been grabbing stretches of territory in Afghanistan's border provinces, the quick guerrilla assaults have been nicknamed "complex attacks" here. They have kept residents of Kabul and other major Afghan cities on edge. The Taliban's intended message is clear: We waited out the Americans, and now can strike at will — even through the so-called "ring of steel" cordon of security around Kabul.

But the attacks are not going unanswered. As the Afghan security forces have struggled elsewhere, the troops tasked with preventing such attacks have had a measure of success in minimizing the damage in recent months.
