'Hours-long attack on Kabul charity ends as attackers killed'

Kabul, Sep 6: At least one person has been killed in an attack on a charity in central Kabul, the interior ministry said today, a day after a double bombing and three huge explosions hit the Afghan capital.

"We believe two attackers have entered the building. Unfortunately one civilian has been killed and six others wounded," ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told AFP.

The hours-long militant attack on a Kabul charity ended after all three assailants were gunned down by Afghan forces, the interior ministry said.

"Forty-two people including 10 foreigners were rescued," ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said on Twitter, confirming at least one fatality in the attack.
