Kabul Afghanistan Attacks (15 April 2012)
Attackers in Afghanistan launched a coordinated wave of assaults Sunday, targeting a heavily protected district of the capital that includes embassies and the presidential palace, as well as trying to strike an airbase used by American troops, officials said. Government facilities, and the American, German and Russian embassies in Kabul were targeted, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said, saying up to seven locations were attacked. Insurgents also took over a building in front of the Afghan parliament and began firing at it, the Kabul police chief's office said in a statement. But police headed off some attacks, arresting two potential suicide bombers and their handler, and destroying a vehicle full of explosives, the statement said. They confessed to being members of the Haqqani network, police said. The insurgent group sometimes allies itself with the Taliban but is a separate movement. At least 13 insurgents were killed in four different locations around the country, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi said. Fourteen Afghan police officers were injured, he said. Another 15 would-be attackers were arrested in Kunduz province plotting similar strikes, said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a spokesman for the chief of police for north and northeast Afghanistan. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying tens of suicide bombers were carrying them out in Kabul and three provinces around the country.

TALIBAN'S ATTACK IN KABUL - APRIL 15,2012
A series of attacks in the Afghan capital Kabul were in retaliation for Koran burnings, a US Marine urination video and the Kandahar massacre, the Taliban has reportedly claimed. The co-ordinated strikes on Sunday targeted Nato's headquarters, the city's parliament building and a number of diplomatic residences - including the British and US embassies. President Hamid Karzai is also reported to be under lockdown and MPs have been among those fighting back against the onslaught, with some standing with Afghan forces to shoot at insurgents. "These attacks are the beginning of the spring offensive and we planned them for months," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has been quoted as saying. Some fighting is still on-going between militants and Afghan police across the city, but hours after the initial explosions and gunfire, reports said only two attackers had died. Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said Afghan forces captured two suicide bombers as they headed for targets in Kabul. Reports said these two attackers were trying to reach the home of one of President Karzai's two deputies, Mohammad Karim Khalili. Afghan security forces, who are responsible for the safety of the capital, have been leading the response to the attacks around the city.
