Taliban commanders have vowed to intensify clashes with the Afghan and foreign forces to dissuade people from voting in the Sept. 28 presidential election, when Ghani will bid for a second five-year term.Security at rallies across the country has been tight following threats by the Taliban to attack meetings and polling stations.
