Rescue mission: An Afghan security guard carries a newborn baby from a Kabul hospital, the site of an attack by gunmen. On Monday, security forces arrested its regional leader in the capital. The Kabul attack began in the morning when at least three gunmen wearing police uniforms entered the Dasht-e-Barchi hospital, throwing grenades and shooting, government officials said. Security forces had killed the attackers by the afternoon. The 100-bed government-run hospital hosted a maternity clinic run by Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French name Médecins Sans Frontières.
