Troops loyal to Abdul Rashid Dostum swept into Maymana, the center of Faryab province, 260 miles northwest of Kabul, on Thursday morning, Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali said. The advance came in a burst of factional violence undermining the authority of U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai. ``Today, at 10 o'clock, militia troops loyal to Gen. Dostum entered Maymana city,'' said Jalali. ``They have control of the city.'' The interior minister said there were no reports of casualties, but Dostum aides said guards fired on a crowd, killing four, as Gov. Enayatullah Enayat was rushed to the airport.
