FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Mahsal said a minivan full of explosives had also been found in the house.
On April 15, in the biggest coordinated attack on the capital in 10 years of
war, three squads of Taliban suicide attackers took up positions in high
buildings under construction and fired on government offices, embassies and
military bases.
Seventeen hours of fighting left 51 dead, including 36 attackers.
The latest gunfight in the capital comes after Nato reported an escalation in
insurgent attacks in recent months and amid growing unrest in areas
neighbouring Kabul.
NATO’S International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said last week that
attacks in the second quarter of this year were 11 per cent higher than in
the same period last year.
The month of June alone saw the highest number of attacks in nearly two years,
with more than 100 assaults a day across the country, including firefights
and roadside bombings, the US-led coalition said.
On Wednesday, insurgents executed seven Afghans in two areas near Kabul for
working with Westerners, Afghan officials said, while four Nato troops and
an interpreter were killed in roadside bomb attacks.
The hardline Taliban Islamists warned at the start of their annual summer
offensive this year that they would target Afghans working for foreign
organisations.
Large numbers of local people work for Western civilian and military projects
in Afghanistan, where Nato has 130,000 troops helping the government of
President Hamid Karzai fight the insurgents.
The Taliban were toppled from power in a US-led invasion in 2001 for
harbouring al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks on New
York and Washington.
But the international troops are scheduled to pull out of Afghanistan by the
end of 2014, handing responsibility for security to government forces.
