塔利班战士在阿富汗首都喀布尔发动了一系列袭击,包括外国大使馆所在的地区。Quentin Sommerville在喀布尔报道。
In the heart of Kabul's embassy district, a Taliban rocket lands in one of the city's busiest streets. The target was the US embassy. There staff were told to take cover. On the streets, Afghan police fired at the attackers who'd taken refuge in a high-rise building. In the west of the city, another two suicide attackers detonated explosives outside a police station. A third was killed as he tried to make it into the airport. A jail run by the intelligence service was also a target. The Nato-led mission's headquarters came under attack too. Yet again, the insurgents are demonstrating that they can hit the Afghan government and its allies even in one of the most heavily fortified parts of the city.
在喀布尔使馆区中心,塔利班向这座城市最繁华的街道之一发射了一枚火箭弹,目标是美国大使馆。使馆工作人员已被告知隐蔽起来。在街道上,阿富汗警方向在高层建筑中躲藏的袭击者开火。在这座城市西部,另外两名自杀式爆炸者在一个警察局外引爆了炸药。第三人在试图前往机场时被击毙。情报部门运营的一座监狱也是袭击目标。北约领导的任务总部也遭遇袭击。然而,反叛分子再次表明他们在这座城市防守最严密的地区袭击阿富汗政府及其盟国。
