                Taliban Militants Attack Heart of Afghan Capital

   Taliban militants have attacked the heart of the Afghan capital,
   setting off explosions and battling security forces.
   At least four blasts shook a busy area of Kabul Friday, in the second
   major attack in the city in a little more than a week.
   Shooting erupted in the area as militants and security forces engaged
   in a fierce gunbattle. Afghan officials say two of the attackers were
   killed.
   Police say the first blast was a suicide bombing close to a hospital
   run by the state intelligence service and to the headquarters of the
   Afghan Public Protection Force.
   The Taliban told Western media it carried out the attack.
   Last week, a suicide car bombing in Kabul killed 15 people, including
   six Americans and nine Afghan civilians. Two of the Americans were
   soldiers.
