Suicide Bombers Storm Upscale Hotel in Kabul
Taliban suicide bombers rushed into a "Western-style" hotel in Kabul Tuesday night, and at least one has blown himself up at the entrance. Details are hazy, but ABC reports that at least "four explosions have been heard and gunfire continues." Police estimate that there are up to six bombers and gunmen. The Intercontinental is apparently a venue of choice for many visiting foreigners — dignitaries, reporters, businesspeople, and other types that the Taliban does not care for.
