FARYAB — All the insurgents involved in a coordinated weekend attack against key government buildings in the southern city of Kandahar have either been captured or killed, NATO said Monday.

More than two dozen insurgents were killed in the battle, which raised new questions about the effectiveness of a yearlong campaign to secure Afghanistan’s south and Kandahar in particular. The city was the birthplace of the Taliban and is the economic hub of southern Afghanistan.

Two militants were killed when a roadside bomb they were planting went off prematurely in northwestern Faryab province late Sunday.
