Taliban Attacks in Afghan Capital

Posted: Updated:

Gunfire and explosions echoed throughout Kabul on Monday morning. Afghan forces  battled insurgents in Afghanistan's capital.

The violence follows a series of deadly attacks in Kabul and three other cities yesterday. NATO bases, the Afghan parliament and several embassies were targeted.

The Taliban claimed responsibility saying they were in retaliation for U.S. troops burning Korans and the killing of Afghan civilians last month.
