A car bomb exploded near the Spanish Embassy in Afghanistan's capital early Friday evening, a source briefed on the incident said on condition of anonymity, and sporadic gunfire rang out in the area afterward -- assaults for which the Taliban appeared to claim responsibility.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called the assaults in Kabul's Sherpoor district a terrorist attack, telling reporters that it appeared to have targeted guesthouses near the Embassy.

They were on very high alert. They saw this coming and still couldn't stop it.
 
Yeah but we have them contained, and on the run.. ;)

Tim-
 
inb4 it's the West's fault for meddling.
 
My prayers and sympathy for those injured or lost loved ones.

Would be nice if we could mourn and address those in need instead of trying to politicize everything off the bat.

So all these places we spent blood and treasure securing. What a colossal failure USFP and the DOD have been in combating Islamic extremism.
