Taliban attack on US Consulate kills 4 Afghans

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - The Taliban attacked a U.S. Consulate in western Afghanistan with car bombs and guns today, killing at least four Afghans but failing to enter the compound or hurt any Americans. The attack in the city of Herat underscored concerns about an insurgency that shows no signs of letting up as U.S.-led troops reduce their presence ahead of a full withdrawal next year.
