Apple Action News: Jan 18th Taliban attacks Kabul

Latest from Apple -- the January 18th Kabul attack.


Based on this story from the WSJ
KABUL—The Taliban launched a coordinated attack on the Afghan capital Monday, paralyzing the city for most of the day as militants set off explosions, took over buildings and attempted to disrupt the swearing-in of new cabinet ministers.

At least 12 people were killed, including seven militants, and 71 people were injured—mostly by hand-grenade fragments—by the time the attacks were over, said Afghan Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak. Seven insurgents were shot dead in the fighting and an unknown number of other militants died in suicide blasts, he said.
