A bloody 11-hour siege of a lakeside resort outside Kabul ended Friday when police killed the last of a four-member team of Taliban assailants -- the latest in a series of high-profile strikes in and around the capital in recent months. Seventeen hotel guests and workers, as well as with one police officer, also died in the attack, according to the Interior Ministry.
