Elusive Taliban fighters have recaptured some areas of a southern Afghan province despite a ongoing massive joint operation by government troops and US-led coalition forces to hunt them down, an Afghan military official said on Wednesday.

"Two districts of Larzahwa, Chanaraha and a part of the district of Dai Chupan in Zabul province were fallen to the hands of Taliban guerrillas on Tuesday afternoon," Haji Janan, a commander of the Afghan Army's 7th Corps stationed in Kandahar, told Xinhua.
