In recent days, the Taliban have been increasing their attacks on districts across the country.
At least 10 police force members were killed in a Taliban attack in Nawa district in Helmand province, sources said on Saturday.
Afghan security forces have recaptured a district in central Afghanistan that had fallen to the Taliban five days ago, officials said.
Since then, government forces have pushed back.
There was no immediate comment from USA military headquarters in Kabul.
The suspect, who was arrested in Germany in February, also is accused of transporting to Kabul on several occasions in 2014 and 2015 bombs made by the commander of his local Taliban unit that could be detonated by remote control.
Taliban took control of the center of Taywara - the main town of the rural area - on Sunday as part of a broad push that saw heavy fighting across much of the country.
Abdul Hai Khateby، the provincial governor spokesman، said fighting raged for two days before Afghan soldiers drove the militants from the Taywara District center on Friday.
The Taliban, fighting to re-establish strict Islamic rule in Afghanistan since being driven from power by the US -backed campaign of 2001, control or contest around 40 percent of the country and have stepped up their offensive over the past week.
Prosecutors say that in the second attack in early 2014, a convoy of eight or nine United States military vehicles was hit, with at least one American soldier killed and two more wounded.
An additional 4،000 U.S. troops are expected to be sent to Afghanistan to reinforce the US-led foreign troops in the country.
