KABUL, April 15 (Reuters) – Afghan Taliban insurgents have
attacked the heavily-guarded Palace compound of Afghan President
Hamid Karzai, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a
second statement on Sunday.
There was no independent verification of the claim.
Large explosions and heavy automatic gunfire continued to
rock central Kabul as dusk approached, continuing a nearly
five-hour gunbattle in locations across the country and in the
diplomatic enclave of the capital.
