THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan —Taliban fighters
killed up to 16 men after learning they had regis
tered for Afghanistan’s U.S.-backed national elec
tions, the deadliest attack yet in a campaign aimed
at sabotaging the nation’s first free vote, officials
said Sunday.
The assault raised security fears and added to
doubts over whether Afghanistan is ready to
hold elections as planned in
September — and increased
pressure on NATO leaders
meeting Monday in Turkey
to deploy more peacekeep
ers here.
The killings took place
Friday on a road in southern
Uruzgan province and vari
ous reports put the number of
dead at 10 or 16. News of the
deaths emerged a day after a
bomb ripped through a bus
carrying female election
workers in the eastern city of
Jalalabad, killing two of them
and wounding 13. A
spokesman for the Taliban
claimed responsibility.
Time is running out for
the joint U.N.-Afghan elec
toral authority to decide on
the polling date if the elec
tion is to be held according
to schedule.
According to the electoral
