The Taliban on Friday captured Kandahar, Afghanistan's second largest city, delivering a crushing blow for the government in Kabul and a major win for the militants.

The city was once the Taliban's stronghold, and is strategically important as a leading trade hub, the BBC reported. Kandahar is the latest provincial capital to fall, after Herat and Ghazni on Thursday.
