喀布爾外國人居住的賓館發生爆炸大綱

A suicide bomb attack on a hotel compound in Afghanistan's capital ended Monday with the deaths of one policeman and all three attackers.

Kabul's police chief General Abdul Rahman Rahimi said one suicide bomber died when he blew up his explosives-laden truck Monday morning outside the security wall of the Northgate Hotel, just east of the Kabul airport.

The Northgate houses foreign contractors, including Americans.

Police say the explosion was felt throughout Kabul and knocked out power across much of the city.

Rahimi said two other attackers tried to enter the hotel, but police fired on them, forcing them to take shelter in a nearby compound. The attackers were killed in an ensuing battle that lasted for several hours. One police officer was killed and three others wounded in the exchange of fire.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.阿富汗首都一個賓館星期一發生自殺炸彈襲擊。一名警察和所有三名襲擊者全部喪生。

喀布爾警察總長阿卜杜勒·拉希米說，星期一早上，在喀布爾機場以東的北門賓館的安全牆外，一名自殺炸彈殺手引爆裝載炸藥的卡車後身亡。

北門賓館住的是包括美國人在內的外籍合同工。

警方說，整個喀布爾市都有震感，爆炸導致該市大面積斷電。

拉希米說，另外兩名襲擊者試圖進入賓館，但是警方向他們開火，迫使其在附近一個場地藏身。襲擊者在隨後持續幾小時的戰鬥中被擊斃。在交火過程中，一名警官身亡，其他三人受傷。

塔利班聲稱對襲擊負責。
