Foreigners, kids among 9 killed in Afghan attack

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The four gunmen were swift as they entered the Kabul hotel, making their way to the restaurant where they pulled out small pistols and began shooting diners in the head, killing nine people, including two Canadians and an Afghan journalist, his wife and two children, officials said today. The Afghan capital has been hit by several attacks, but authorities appeared stunned that the militants had managed to get through the tight security at the Serena hotel – considered one of the safest places to stay in Kabul.
