Security forces battled a group of three or four gunmen who stormed the popular western-style Intercontinental Hotel in the Afghan capital Kabul Saturday.

Details of the attack, including information on any casualties, were unclear but the attackers appeared to have included suicide bombers, Reuters reported, citing Afghan ministry spokesman Najib Danish for the information.

The hotel came under attack around 9 p.m. local time.

Reuters reported that there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the latest in a long series to have hit Kabul.

U.S. officials in Kabul told Fox News the hotel was on fire.

I was reading about Gulbuddin Hekmatyar last night. Interesting CIA/Saudi asset who has been a player in Afghanistan since the 80’s.

Reported dead in 2015, but still very much alive. Followed Muslim Brotherhood Idealogy, but funded by Saudis..Returned to Afghanistan in October 2017 to support peace, and their President.

Talk about a weird rabbit hole, trying to follow the drugs, killings, etc..
