Takhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the Taliban insurgents are actively operating in a number of its districts and often carry out insurgency activities.
In the meantime, the Taliban insurgents have increased insurgency activities in some of the key northern provinces including Takhar and Kunduz as the group aims to expand its insurgency activities as part of its annual offensives.
The group launched numerous attacks in Kunduz and kidnapped several passengers earlier this year from the vicinity of Kunduz as well as the main highway connecting Takhar and Kunduz.http://www.khaama.com/takhar-deputy-police-chief-escapes-bomb-explosion-unhurt-01944
