Afghan Taliban announce spring offensive It warned civilians to stay away from public gatherings, military bases, government buildings and convoys. Meanwhile initial findings from a NATO inquiry into a deadly attack at Kabul airport on Wednesday suggest the gunman was not connected to the Taliban. The man, an Afghan pilot, killed eight U.S. troops and a contractor. He was later found dead. The Taliban claimed the attack, but the coalition said there was no evidence for this and the gunman appeared to have acted alone. Saturday's statement by the Taliban said the group would attack "foreign invading forces, members of their spy networks and other spies, high-ranking officials of the Kabul puppet administration". It said the war would continue "until the foreign invading forces pull out of Afghanistan". The Taliban have claimed a series of attacks in recent weeks - including the killing of Kandahar police Chief Khan Mohammed Mujahid and a suicide bombing at an Afghan base near Jalalabad that killed five foreign and five Afghan troops. However on Friday, a Pentagon report said the insurgents' momentum had been "broadly arrested" following a U.S. troop surge last year.
