The Taliban has launched coordinated attacks on the diplomatic area and NATO headquarters in Kabul, also targeting adjoining provinces. The group says it's in retaliation for Koran burnings, the US marine urination video and the Kandahar massacre. The Afghanistan International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed multiple attacks on seven locations across Kabul. Afghan parliament came under rocket fire, with residents reporting explosions near it. Several attackers attempted to enter the building, but they were driven back by security forces. A police officer was killed and 10 others injured in an explosion near the parliament. A witness said a rocket-propelled grenade hit the residence of the British ambassador. Two rockets reportedly hit a British Embassy guard tower, according to the reports. Smoke could also be seen from the direction of the German embassy. Three rockets struck the Japanese embassy, but nobody was hurt and the embassy's staff was safely evacuated to a nearby air raid shelter, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported. There have also been reports that Russian embassy buildings were attacked, though Russian diplomats later denied the embassy was under fire. Suicide bombers took over the Kabul Star Hotel, known to be used by foreigners, launching rocket and rifle fire. The Taliban claimed they also attacked President Karzai's presidential palace compound. Later Karzai's aide said that the Afghan president is under lockdown in Kabul. An intelligence ...

Get Free iOS apps by email! bit.ly Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers made an organized and daring attack on one of Afghanistan's most popular hotels. On Tuesday, June 28 2011, the Inter-Continental Hotel became the target of Taliban fighters who used guns, bombs and grenade launchers to cause chaos. Four hours after the attack began, International Security Assistance Force helicopters fired at insurgents on the roof, killing as many as three of the gunmen. Afghan soldiers and ISAF were going room to room to clear the building. Although the Taliban is claiming they have killed up to fifty hotel guests in the raid, the overall casualty toll is not yet clear. According to US officials, at least 10 people have died so far. A news conference regarding the planned transition of security from international to Afghan forces had been scheduled to take place at the hotel on Wednesday.

To read the article go to: www.huffingtonpost.com i cant post everything so ill post a little. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan President Hamid Karzai vowed Wednesday that his army and police would be ready to take over from foreign forces as planned despite a brazen assault on one of Kabul's premier hotels that left 19 people dead -- including all eight attackers. The more than five-hour standoff at the Inter-Continental -- one of the biggest and most complex attacks orchestrated in the Afghan capital -- ended when NATO helicopters fired rockets at Taliban gunmen on the roof. The attack appeared designed to show that the insurgents are capable of striking even in the center of power at a time when US officials are speaking of progress in the nearly 10-year war. Last week, President Barack Obama announced the beginning of a US troop withdrawal. The transfer of security responsibility to the Afghans is due to officially begin in seven areas of the nation, including most of Kabul province, in coming weeks. Militants, armed with explosive vests, anti-aircraft weapons and grenade launchers, began the attack around 10 pm Tuesday, on the eve of a conference in the capital about transition plans. Ashraf Ghani, chairman of the transition commission, opened the conference Wednesday with blunt words for militants. "The transition process will be done, and these coward enemies will not stop our plans," Ghani said. As Afghan leaders work on transition, violence continued in other ...
