KABUL, Afghanistan —
Rival Muslim factions battled across Kabul again Thursday, and the caretaker Islamic government threatened to use force to stop the fighting, which has killed at least 100 people.

As of Thursday, more than 60 people had died and scores had been wounded in three days of fighting.
