June 8, 2013 — 7:30 PM CDT – DEVELOPING – A major terrorist attack is occurring now at Kabul International Airport. Large explosions and gunfire have been heard, suicide bombers are intruding, and there are reports of insurgents firing rockets. Targeted areas seem to include the US Air Force’s area, a counter narcotics building. The attack began around 7:00 PM CDT. The attackers are believed to be Taliban militia.
“US embassy in Kabul advising employees for “Duck and Cover”; stay away from windowS, wait for further instruction,” reports Newsbreaker on Twitter. The US embassy is on lockdown. The embassy has confirmed an “on-going attack” in Kabul, the capitol city. The US embassy is located next to NATO’s ISAF headquarters (International Security Assistance Force). SEE MAP.
UPDATE: The attack might be reprisal for the arrest of a Taliban leader today: “An Afghan and coalition security force arrested a Taliban leader and two other extremists during an operation in Kandahar City, Kandahar province, today. The leader oversees a group of extremists involved in improvised explosive devices operations in Kandahar City. He has a history of building multiple types of IEDs and directing his subordinates to carry out attacks against Afghan and coalition forces in Kandahar City.” (Source: ISAF news release, 9 June 2013)
