Members of the Taliban attacked Kabul on Tuesday morning, Sept. 13, in three coordinated attacks, according to the Guardian

The massive assault focused on the U.S. Embassy as well as NATO buildings, while at least three suicide bombers were sent elsewhere in the city, Reuters reports

The insurgents used a partially completed building behind the U.S. Embassy to stage the attacks, reports the Los Angeles Times, noting:
"Insurgents appeared to have seized a tall building under construction as a staging ground for the attack with rockets and automatic weapons -- a tactic used previously in similar strikes elsewhere in the country."

Reuters is reporting that at least 9 people have been killed and 23 wounded as a gun battle continued into Tuesday evening.

The attack comes just one day following U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker's claim that the worst problem facing Kabul was "traffic." Last month was the deadliest for U.S. troops in 10 years.

  • و مين قال لك هذا جهاد

    لا يوجد جهاد في افغانستان

    هذا مجرد 3 اشخاص مجرمين من دول العربية مسلمين إرهااااب

    لكن قريبا يتم اغلاق سفارات دول العربية في افغانستان

    لأجل أمن البلاد

    و نحن حكومة الافغانية و شعب الافغانية ضد الجهاد

  • هذا ليست جهاد لا يوجد جهاد في افغانستان اصلا

    يعني جهاد ضد مين مثلا

    هذا مجرد 3 اشخاص دخلوا المبنى و اطلقوا النار و سيطرت عليهم قوات الافغانية

    و تم قبض عليهم خلال 15 دقيقة من دخولهم

    مع تحيات الفارسي من كابل

  • luliban

  • And no one was killed except the attacking donkey fuckers. Fail attack just proves that the Taliban cant do shit except cause traffic waiting for them to die.
