Gunmen Besiege Intelligence Facility in Kabul as Afghanistan Mourns Victims of Suicide Bombing

(KABUL, Afghanistan) — Gunmen besieged a compound belonging to the Afghan intelligence service in Kabul on Thursday, police said, as the city’s Shiite residents held funeral services for the victims of a horrific suicide bombing the previous day that left 34 dead. Police officer Abdul Rahman told The Associated Press from the location of the morning siege in a northwestern neighborhood of Kabul that the gunmen were holed up in a partially constructed building near the compound from where they were opening fire. The shooting — which underscored the near-daily, persistent threats in war-battered Afghanistan — was sporadic and it wasn’t immediately clear how many gunmen are involved in the assault.
