Some of you may have noticed that the Taliban has engaged in a terror attack on Kabul, Afghanistan’s Intercontinental Hotel. They just don’t seem interested in cooperating with the Afghan government or any Western entity.
This attack may or may not be over. Apparently helicopters just shot terrorists on the hotel roof.
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) — Gunmen and suicide bombers attacked Kabul’s Hotel Inter-Continental, where they fought Tuesday with Afghan security forces late into the night, Chief of Criminal Investigation Mohammed Zahir told CNN.
Three of about six armed would-be suicide attackers who attacked Kabul’s Inter-Continental Hotel at 10 p.m. Tuesday were shot dead by police; another detonated his explosives and two were still resisting from the top levels of the hotel, said Afghan Lt. Gen. Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, the city’s chief of police, early Wednesday.
The Afghan National Police and the Afghan army are in control of the area, he told CNN, adding that the casualty toll was not yet clear.
A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, said in an e-mail that the suicide attackers entered the hotel after killing the security guards at the entrance.
