KABUL - Afghan security forces exchanged sporadic gunfire on Wednesday with attackers who made use of a car bomb blast to invade the compound of an international aid group in Kabul, injuring at least two dozen people, authorities said.
Occasional gunshots and explosions were heard as special forces, backed by advisers from foreign forces, surrounded the site and engaged the attackers in a stand-off. Authorities cordoned off the area, sending ambulances and police trucks. At least nine injured people were taken to hospital, said a health ministry spokesman, Wahidullah Mayar, while officials at the city’s Emergency Hospital said they had received 15 wounded.
Before it was toppled by U.S. and Afghan forces in late 2001, the harsh Taliban regime barred women from working outside their homes, and required them to be accompanied by a male relative.
