Afghan hotel attack kills 3
Attackers entered a hotel in western Afghanistan yesterday and killed at least three security forces in an ongoing incident, an official told AFP. The attack was underway in Qala-e-Naw, the capital of Badghis province, having started around 12:40 pm when a group of men, some wearing suicide vests, entered the hotel. He added that children had been evacuated from nearby schools, and that explosions could be heard in the city. Haroon Amir, a witness, said the attackers first hit a police checkpoint and then entered the hotel. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes amid daily carnage in Afghanistan despite a US-led push for a deal to try to end the war.
