Afghanistan polls: Taliban threatens attacks to keep voters away

Taliban warns voters of more attacks as presidential elections loom while government promises more security at polls.

As Afghanistan prepares for Saturday’s presidential election, many voters living in Taliban-controlled areas are planning to stay away from the ballot.

They fear reprisals from the armed group if they vote.

Following the breakdown of talks with the United States, the Taliban has stepped up its campaign to disrupt the election.
