Taliban launch wave of attacks in Afghanistan's KandaharKANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban insurgents, including at least six suicide bombers, hit government targets in southern Afghanistan's Kandahar on Saturday, triggering gunbattles that killed two people in what the militants said was part of their "spring offensive".
Dozens were wounded in the attacks, which began with a fusillade of rocket-propelled grenades aimed at the provincial governor's housing complex in the city center.
More blasts followed in other areas, including outlying districts, in several coordinated attacks, officials said. Gunfire could still be heard late on Saturday, although Afghan officials said this was mainly from clearing operations.
"If these attacks were aimed at seizing control of Kandahar city, as the Taliban proclaimed, they failed," a senior official from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) told Reuters, on condition of anonymity.

Between three and six other suicide bombers failed to reach their targets, Laster said, "either detonating prematurely or being killed before they could detonate".
