KABUL – At least 15 people are reportedly killed and more than dozens other injured after the Intercontinental Hotel in Afghanistan’s capital city came under terrorist attack on Saturday.

Reports say at least four gunmen entered the building before police cordoned off the area.

Special forces were attempting to engage the gunmen, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said.

Attackers have taken several hostages in the hotel, according to local Tolo News agency who cited Kabul police.

An official at the Afghan spy agency told an international news agency that the gunmen were “shooting at guests”.

Is the siege now over....
Are the terrorist dead?
Or they have still kept the hostges?
What are their demands.
Their is simply no news.
Sadly international media just give a cursory news not even updating it.
And Afghans are good at controlling information. Even local Afghan channels don't report anything?

[Taimoor Khan]

1 trillion $ lost in Afghan war, yet America can't even secure Kabul. And that shithole is tweeting about 33 billion to Pakistan!!

Inna lillahi wa inna illahi raji'oon




While fighting the war on your keyboards don't forget that those are innocent people being killed who have family, friends, loved ones. Have a little decency.

Terror is terror no matter where happened as the victims are civilians. RIP
Doubt if it’s Taliban it’s seems ISSI or Daesh type style.
Northern scums totally clue less the mess around them they fkn enjoying proper security, and NATO helpless as they just protecting their own interests there.

Afghanistan is a hell hole

This has and still can happen in Pakistan as well. We also have our share of nutcases who are only too willing to kill in the name of a perversion of religion.
