A group of people using bombs and small arms attacked the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul on Tuesday, and fighting was ongoing with Afghan security forces, Chief of Criminal Investigation Mohammed Zahir told CNN. Suicide bombers were among the attackers, he said.
A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, said a group of Taliban bombers was responsible for the 10 p.m. attack on the hotel, which is popular among international guests.
