Taliban claim attack on Kabul guesthouse after overnight siege ends

Kabul, May 27 (ANI): The Taliban claimed responsibility for an overnight attack on a guest-house in the diplomatic enclave of the Afghan capital that ended on Wednesday morning after a stand-off with Afghan government forces. The Afghan Interior Ministry said the militants had been armed with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and other weapons. All four attackers were killed and no other casualties were reported. One resident described what he heard during the night. The heavily armed insurgents stormed the guest-house late on Tuesday night. The attack targeted a guest-house owned by a prominent Afghan political family, Kabul’s police chief said, declining to provide details about the occupants. Over a dozen explosions that sounded like rockets were counted during the attack and gunfire continued after midnight. Several of the more powerful blasts heard could have been caused by suicide bombers detonating their vests, an Afghan security source said.
