At least five people were killed and many injured when Taliban gunmen stormed Afghanistan's foreign office building here Saturday evening, sources said.
"One foreign and a local staff of a targeted aid agency were killed in the blasts and gunshots besides three gunmen," a security source at the site told Xinhua.
The compound houses a South African non-government organisation. But the nationality of the killed workers could not be immediately ascertained, the source added.
"Police rescued two foreign and several Afghan workers of the compound. The fighting is over now," Ayoub Salangi, deputy interior minister in charges of security, told local media.
