6/10/13, "Kabul airport targeted in ongoing Taliban attack," thepeninsulaqatar.com
"In another recent attack to shake confidence in Afghanistan's prospects
after 2014, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) offices in
the eastern city of Jalalabad were attacked on May 29.
The two-hour assault, which left one Afghan guard dead, was the first
time ICRC offices have been targeted in Afghanistan since the aid
organisation began work in the country 26 years ago.
The Taliban, who were ousted from power in Kabul in 2001 for sheltering
the Al-Qaeda militants behind the 9/11 attacks, have fought a long and
bloody insurgency against Karzai's US-backed government." (AFP)
