KABUL: Security forces have killed two of the Taliban gunmen who launched an attack in Kabul, an Afghan government spokesman said Friday, without saying how many other militants were still holding out.

"I can confirm that at least two of the attackers who were shooting and throwing grenades at our security forces have been gunned down," Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the interior ministry, told the Tolo television news channel.
