KABUL: At least a dozen large explosions and automatic gunfire rocked Kabul on Sunday in what appeared to be a coordinated attack across several areas of the city centre and concentrated on the heavily guarded diplomatic area, Reuters witnesses said.
According to witnesses, suicide bombers took over Kabul hotel, launch rocket and rifle fire.
Gunfire appeared to be coming from various directions in the barricaded diplomatic area of the city, close to both the US and British embassies, and embassy alarms were sounding.
Smoke billowed from the direction of the German embassy, while explosions from rocket-propelled grenades rocked nearby buildings. The embassies were not immediately available to comment.
Afghan security forces were scrambling to reinforce areas around the so-called green zone.

Gunfire and blasts heard in Kabul
Multiple blasts and gunfire have been heard in the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul.

The central district is home to a number of international embassies and there are also reports the parliament building is under attack.

Residents were reportedly running for cover and sirens wailing in the Wazir Akbar Khan district.

There is normally a surge in the number of Taliban attacks at this time of year following a relative lull in winter.

There are reports of at least seven large explosions in central Kabul and gunfire from various directions in the heavily barricaded diplomatic zone.

Some explosions were heard near the parliament building in western Kabul and police said it may be under attack.

Witnesses told Reuters news agency this appeared to be a co-ordinated attack and a parliamentary spokesperson told the agency rockets had been fired at parliament and the Russian embassy.

Smoke was said to be billowing from the direction of the German embassy.

The Agence France-Presse news agency reports that the newly built Kabul Star hotel is on fire.

Its reporters said they heard the US embassy sounding alarms and warning staff to take cover.

There are also reports of gunfire from a number of other parts of the capital.

How did the Taliban manage to get inside the Parliament???

Was there anyone inside who has been held hostage?

THe attackers must be in large numbers to get this much area under siege.

Who has the charge of the security of that area?

ANA or NATO?

Taliban are not inside Parliament, they are 500 meters away from Parliament building inside an under-construction building.

No one was in that building.

No, witnesses say they are 5.

The area is under 7th security district HQ.

No NATO/ANA is involved only Afghan National Police and Afghan Counter Terrorist Force is operating so far they have killed 2 attackers and are in the second floor of that building.

And unluckily 1200 of these bastards escaped a Pakistani prison today; those who defend these so called Jahadies should prepare for their suicides and terrors in their own cities.

Good luck to the Mujehadeen.

Reprisal attacks were expected after the massive US Op over the past week.

What Operation?

These were Haqqani guys as per Afghan govt sources. Many have been captured.

It may have something to do with US refusal to stop drone strikes in Pak.

Good news:

2 suicide attackers and their guide were arrested in Kabul.

1 suicide attacker has been arrested in Jalalabad.

3 suicide attackers are dead in the nearing Parliament building in Kabul.

2 suicide attackers are dead in Kabul Star hotel.

Congrats to Afghan forces.

They are showing remarkable professional competence despite all the difficulties.

Lol man that's 3 KM far from US embassy; they are inside this hotel: Welcome to « Kabul Star Hotel

After killing 60+ Taliban they have the right to retaliate; I always praise one thing that Musharaf said: "they come to die and they will die".

And it's also 1 blast and multiple gun fire, no one is as close to hotel as me!

Stay safe mate.
