CRI听力:Taliban kill 14 in Kabul Guesthouse Siege

2015-05-15来源:CRI

The death toll from an assault on a popular guest house in the Afghan capital, Kabul, has come in at 14.

Most of those killed are foreigners.

The victims were killed in an overnight siege on the Park Palace Guesthouse.

Witnesses say a lone gunman appears to be behind the massacre.

"A tall young guy who was wearing black clothes, aged around 23 to 25-years-old, entered the restaurant and ordered a plate of rice, there were foreigners being served at another table so he sat down at an empty table next to them."

"He took out his pistol, shot the foreigners, then he shot the receptionist, he then went to kitchen and from the kitchen he then fired on the tables where we were eating."

The Taliban is claiming responsibility for the seven-hour assault.

Afghan forces are now solely responsible for security in Afghanistan now that NATO's combat mission is over.
