Taliban jihadists not held back by "moderate Taliban," attack Kabul

Joe Biden, call your office. That incorrigible 5% is acting up again. "Afghan capital Kabul hit by 'Taliban' attack," from the BBC, January 18 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Suspected Taliban militants have launched an attack in the Afghan capital Kabul, setting off explosions and sparking a gun battle.

The fighting erupted near the Serena Hotel and presidential palace, although Afghan President Hamid Karzai says security has now been restored.

The Taliban said 20 of its fighters were involved.

Two civilians and three security personnel have been killed plus 71 others wounded, officials say.

Seven attackers had also been killed, Interior Minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar said.

It is the latest in a series of increasingly brazen attacks on Kabul....
