KABUL: Afghan Taliban insurgents have attacked the heavily-guarded Palace compound of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a second statement on Sunday. There was no independent verification of the claim. Large explosions and heavy automatic gunfire continued to rock central Kabul as dusk approached, continuing a nearly five-hour gunbattle in locations across the country and in the diplomatic enclave of the capital. “They’re still resisting in two areas, one near Parliament and the other close to the Kabul Star Hotel,” Kabul Police Chief said.
